Speech development for children 4-7 years old: lessons based on story pictures

Children in preschool age play and communicate a lot. It is during the period of increased interest of the child in communication that it is important not to miss the moment of development of competent, coherent speech. When talking with a child, pay attention not only to the correct use of words, but also to the logical sequence of his story. The development of speech and figurative thinking in preschool age turns out to be more important than teaching a child to read. Moreover, the educational system “Primary School of the 21st Century” does not require reading skills when entering first grade. But any school welcomes children with developed memory, logical and imaginative thinking and developed speech. Story pictures, a little time and parental patience will help develop all this.

Subject pictures - small stories

Story pictures can be one picture or a series of pictures united by meaning. For older preschoolers, pictures are suitable that show not only some action of the character in the illustration, but also contain many details. It’s not easy to compose a story based on one picture even for a junior schoolchild, and not all children can be interested in this activity. Another thing is a series of plot pictures. There can be from three to five to seven. There are picture books where the story is presented only with pictures in a certain sequence. They perfectly develop coherent speech and attention of the child.

But still, a series of individual pictures is more functional. When used in developmental classes, the child will learn to compose a coherent story through the use of logical thinking.

It will be interesting for everyone!

What's the best way to work with story pictures? To do this you need:

  • lay out the pictures in front of the child;
  • look at each picture and talk with your child about what they have in common;
  • ask the child to arrange the pictures in the correct sequence;
  • ask questions about the plot so that the child gives a complete answer to them.

Next, the child composes a short story on his own.

For a better understanding, let's look at an example. Let's turn to the series of pictures that make up the fairy tales of the wonderful children's writer and illustrator Vladimir Suteev: a series of pictures about children who were picking mushrooms in the forest and were scared when they saw sparkling eyes in a hole under a tree. They imagined that there was a terrible beast there, and, throwing the basket, ran away. A hunter was walking towards them. The guys told him about the terrible beast and, together with the hunter, went to that very tree. The hunter raised his gun and approached the hole in which the animal was sitting. But a small black kitten came out of the hole. The guys were very surprised.

  • First, look at the picture and find the characters in the story. Do this with each picture - it is important that the child makes sure that a number of pictures are united in meaning.
  • Then for each picture: who is shown in it? Why did the guys come to the forest? What did the guys see? How did you react? What did they do after that? Who was behind the bush? How did the guys behave then?
  • Try to get your baby to answer as completely as possible, not limiting himself to one word.
  • Now ask the child, looking at the pictures, to tell you in order everything that he saw and remembered. Thus, the baby got a story.

To make it more interesting for your preschooler, include a game moment: tell your version of the story and ask your child to evaluate your story.

About benefits and effectiveness

A series of plot pictures, as mentioned earlier, gives a universal effect, developing coherent, literate speech, imaginative and logical thinking.

  • Logical thinking.

By looking at a series of pictures, a preschooler learns to identify a generalizing link in them and, on this basis, to conclude that the pictures are united by a storyline. In this way, analytical thinking is formed, as well as logical construction, with the help of which children compose a coherent story.

  • Creative thinking.

Without imagination, it is basically impossible to compose a story from a picture. Let's say a series of pictures is dedicated to a hedgehog who found a balloon. The child will wonder: where did this same ball come from in the forest? This is where fantasy and imagination come to the rescue: friends were walking through the forest for a birthday party and missed one of the balloons.

  • Coherent, literate speech.

It is formed from the age of 4–6 years, when a child can answer a question with a full, expanded sentence with homogeneous members. For its successful formation and training, a series of plot paintings will be very useful. The practice of composing stories, when there are clues in the form of pictures before your eyes, will help your child answer questions competently and coherently, paying attention to the details of what is happening.

How to work with your child on speech development: useful tips from my experience of games and activities using a book.

Games and exercises for children's speech development with story-based pictures.

In the article and in the book you will find six series of plot pictures

. Read the text of the assignments in advance and prepare the necessary material.

To complete some tasks, you will need to cut out rectangles from cardboard to the size of the pictures to cover the images. This is done so that the child tries to guess what will happen next or, conversely, to identify the cause of events. This way your baby will learn to establish cause-and-effect relationships, reason, draw conclusions, and prove his point of view. It is very important that the child himself tries to find answers to questions and makes assumptions. Don't be too quick to give the "correct" answer. The baby needs to make a small discovery himself and experience the joy of it.


mistakes
in answering questions , for example, says “prettier” or “brighter,” then do not scold him, do not laugh at the mistake, but tactfully correct him: “Think about how to say it correctly... Yes, you guessed it. We must say “brighter”.

Writing fairy tales from pictures

will help children learn to tell stories in a certain sequence, in accordance with the structure of the story (beginning, middle, end), use figurative expressive means of language, and will contribute to the development of the child’s imagination and creativity.

If it is difficult for a child to compose a fairy tale on his own, then help him. Say the beginning of phrases, and the baby will continue them himself. Look how this was done in the tasks for the pictures “Teddy Bear.” You can help your child by giving him a plan. If there is a long pause during the story, help the child with questions: “What happened to the pig next?” or “Where did the puppy go? Who did he meet?

Game “Guess which word is lost”

? Intended for children five years and older. This fun exercise in an entertaining way will teach your baby to hear and isolate the sounds of his native language from the flow of speech, that is, it will contribute to the development of phonemic hearing. If it is difficult for a child to find the right word, then highlight the wrong word in a couplet and offer to replace it. When selecting rhymes, encourage the child’s independence, do not rush to say the correct answer. Help him with a hint, for example, “Flour-...What is this? (point to the child’s hand).” “Hand!”, the baby will guess. Rejoice at his discovery and repeat these couple of words with him. If a sound in a task needs to be highlighted with a voice, then it is indicated in the text by several letters (“essskimo”, “gradussnik”).

When discussing proverbs with children

It is very important to help the child understand their meaning using specific examples from his life experience, fairy tales, and stories. Think about similar situations your child has been in or observed and talk about them.

not look at several series of pictures at one time with your child.

This leads to overtired children, reducing their interest in classes and their effectiveness. It is enough to talk about one episode and do additional tasks for it, given below. To complete additional tasks you will need toys, pencils or paints, and drawing paper. Prepare them in advance.

After looking at all the series of pictures

ask your child why they say this: “Health is more valuable than gold,” “Take care of your health from a young age.” Invite him to tell you how he takes care of his health, and write a letter to Aibolit about it. The child will dictate, and you will write down his story. Prompt your child to start phrases, and he will continue them. Ask your child to draw pictures for his story for Aibolit.

Additionally, you can conduct games and exercises with your child with subject pictures on the topic “Health”.

Name with your child or find in the pictures:

a) items necessary for the doctor and nurse to work;

b) objects that help us always be clean and tidy;

c) healthy foods.

Ask your child which of these items he has at home and why they are needed. Play the game "Guess the object"

».

Option 1. You describe the object, and the child guesses it. For example: “The doctor needs this item. It is glass, long, it helps to find out whether a person is sick, what his temperature is.” After several riddles, invite your child to tell you a similar riddle himself.

Option 2. The child makes a wish for one object. You try to guess what it is by asking questions. For example: “Is this item a product?” (No). “Does a doctor need this item to treat people?” (Yes). “Is he needed to give injections?” (Yes). "It's a syringe." (Yes). After a while, invite the child to switch roles.

Invite your child to pack his doctor's case. To do this, you need to draw all the objects that he will need for work and explain why he needs them.

I wish you the joy of communicating with your baby and interesting activities and games with him!

Together with your child, think about what dishes can be prepared from his products. Create your own book of favorite and healthy dishes. The kid will draw pictures in it, and you will write captions for them.

Tips for parents

We all know that in the early stages of development, a child learns what interests him. In order for the process of learning storytelling from story pictures to be both useful and interesting, you should adhere to some rules:

  • Make sure that the sentences in your child’s story are clear and complete.
  • Ask more questions, show your interest.
  • Try to be active and respond quickly to your child’s answers.
  • Write down the resulting sentences, so the baby’s story will become clear.
  • You should not correct your child if he talks about the topic of the pictures. But if the baby gets carried away and is just chatting in vain, it is necessary to direct him to the subject of the story.
  • If you have just started working with story pictures, then start with a short story.
  • To immediately interest your child in such activities, try starting with funny pictures. Children love humor as much as adults and will be happy to tell you a funny story.

And of course, parents of young storytellers need to remember patience and tact. Over time, the baby will learn everything, even if it may take him a little longer than his peers.
