The norm of speech development of children of the fifth year of life
The state of children's speech at the age of four to five years can be very different: from perfect command of the capabilities of their native language to very slurred statements with a meager vocabulary and a lot of grammatical errors.
Guidelines that you can rely on when analyzing the state of children’s speech:
- a child of five years of age uses words exactly according to their meaning;
- in addition to the main parts of speech, he actively uses adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns;
- children can quite fully describe toys, objects, pictures;
- most sounds are pronounced clearly and correctly, although the articulation of [l] and [r] may not yet be mastered;
- he is able to control the volume of his speech and can speak in a whisper;
- the pace of statements is average, without slowness or excessive haste;
- When reciting poetry and telling fairy tales, children use expressive intonation.
In the fifth year of life, children can already speak faster and slower, pronounce words quieter and louder, and notice these nuances in the speech of other people. Kids add an interesting emotional color to their statements and use intonation to express their messages. This allows them to recite poems they have learned by heart with greater artistry.
The main quality of children's speech at this age is its coherence and consistency in the presentation of thoughts.
Diagnosis of speech disorders
To check on your own how things are going with speech disorders in a child who speaks incomprehensibly, you can conduct several simple tests. To study vocabulary, he is asked to name animals, seasons, dishes, toys, furniture from pictures.
Children are asked to name objects, phenomena, qualities of objects, to carry out an assignment (draw something, bring an object or toy). To find out how they can change words, they offer the following tasks:
- form the plural (nose – noses, chair – chairs),
- offer to count objects, determining how he coordinates nouns with numerals (one book, two books, etc.);
- say “affectionately” (doll - doll, bed - crib).
To determine the level of development of phrasal speech, children are asked to complete a sentence started by an adult: “The boy... is playing ball.” For this, pictures with different scenes are used. When observing a child’s speech in everyday life, you need to note for yourself which parts of speech the child uses and evaluate his ability to correctly construct a phrase.
To examine the syllabic structure of a word, the child is offered verbal tasks without using pictures: repeat syllables from different consonants and vowels (lo-se-ku, pi-ka-chu), syllables from the same consonants and different vowels (da-doo-dy-do) , from the same vowels and different consonants (la-ma-ka-sa). To understand whether the child feels the rhythm of speech, they tap the rhythm of a simple word and ask him to repeat it in the same way.
Prevention of speech delay
The formation of a senior preschooler’s perfect speech is influenced by his living conditions, the characteristics of his parents’ upbringing style, and, most importantly, the efforts of caring adults. To avoid finding yourself on the threshold of school in a situation where a child has discovered numerous speech disorders and there is no time to correct them, you need to take care in advance of the harmonious development of the child’s speech.
To solve this problem, close communication between children and adults is of great importance. Walking together, doing creative work, looking at book illustrations with a parallel discussion of what they saw and felt. This work will give a powerful impetus to the development of the baby’s speech. It is very valuable to learn and use such rich material as counting rhymes, tongue twisters, poems, riddles, sayings, nursery rhymes, and proverbs. All words that children do not understand need to be explained and ensure that they are used correctly.
Reading children's literature should be accompanied by a conversation about the actions of the characters and an explanation of incomprehensible words. When memorizing poetic works, it is very useful to replenish a child’s vocabulary by drawing his attention to the figures of speech used by the author. “A dark forest that covered itself with a wonderful hat...” “What hat did the poet write about?” “And fell asleep under her quietly, soundly...” “Do you think the forest can fall asleep?” “How do you understand the word restlessly?”
In order to fully prepare for schooling, a child of five to six years old must be able to coherently express his thoughts and construct logical, complete statements. It is important to correct deficiencies in sound pronunciation in a timely manner, to teach children to use their voice and means of expression. If children receive a lot of positive information from the outside world and from fiction that they can discuss with adults, this greatly stimulates children's speech development.
