The development of phonemic hearing in preschool children reflects not only the child's ability to correctly pronounce words and not to confuse syllables, but also testifies to the child's readiness for writing. According to speech therapists and preschool teachers, often if a child has a poor phonemic hearing, is not able to distinguish between different syllables, confuses them in his speech, then this is reflected in the child's letter. That is, when the child begins to write, then he makes the same mistakes that he did before in the speech. Because it is so important for the development of the phonemic hearing of the child to use various games and pay attention to how the child hears sounds, as he pronounces them.
Stages of development of phonemic hearing
The development of phonemic hearing in children is carried out in several stages. Scientists have determined that newborns do not distinguish all the subtleties of adult speech, they guess the general intonation, its rhythm. But by the age of two the child must take in all the subtleties of the speech of an adult. (Incidentally, the most difficult to perceive children are the hissing and whistling sounds, it is they who are recognized by children as the last.)
Games-exercises for the development of phonemic hearing
To conduct such games you will need a minimum of visual material, so most of the phonemic games are games with words, more precisely, with the ability to distinguish individual words in words.
"Look, do not make a mistake!"
First, ask the child to come up with words that begin with "for". The child offers: "Curtain, castle, climb ..."
Now change the tasks: the words should end with "for": "eyes, birch, dragonfly".
Vary the exercise with other syllables.
"How to speak a tiny fish"
Tell the child that he needs to help the bear to teach the cub to speak the words correctly. "Gathers her son's mother for a walk and asks how his clothes are called, and he answers:" Sharfyik, cap, Vareyazhka, Valenki. " Medveditsa
"Pick up the word!"
Invite the child to pick up a word that begins with the last sound of the word "sofa"; the name of the fruit, in which would be the last sound of the word "mountain" (pineapple, orange); pick up the word so that the first sound is "to", and the last "t" (mole, compote), etc.
Tasks for the development of phonemic hearing should be offered to the child as often as possible, since only constant training can develop a pupil's phonemic skills.
