Development of speech creativity in preschool children

Preschool age is a period of active acquisition by a child of spoken language, the formation and development of all aspects of speech: phonetic, lexical, grammatical. Full command of the native language in preschool childhood is a necessary condition for solving the problems of mental, aesthetic, and moral education of children.

The Federal State Educational Standard for Education indicates the need to include the development of speech creativity of preschoolers in the content of the educational field “Speech Development”. The “Law on Education of the Russian Federation” states that preschool education should be aimed at the formation of a general culture, the development of physical, intellectual, moral, aesthetic and personal qualities, and the formation of prerequisites for the educational activities of preschool children.

Speech creativity is the independent activity of children in constructing coherent statements caused by the perception of works of art, stimulating children’s use of a variety of expressive language means, conveying the child’s impressions of artistic information.

The huge role of creativity is determined by the fact that it opens up new values for the child of cognition, transformation, experience, which enrich his world, contribute to the manifestation of the creative qualities of the individual, which corresponds to the principles of the Federal State Educational Standard (supporting children’s initiative in various types of activities; formation of cognitive interests and cognitive actions of the child in various types of activities). Exploring the surrounding reality through creative activity, the child shows an emotional and aesthetic attitude towards it, feels like an “active figure”, constantly discovering something new for himself and declaring new things about himself (L.A. Wenger).

The following types of speech creativity are distinguished:

Retelling.
Writing based on plot pictures and large paintings.
Compiling stories and fairy tales from personal experience.
Compiling narrative narratives based on topics.

The ability for speech creativity is formed in older preschool age, when children have a stock of knowledge about the world around them, the active side of speech, imaginative thinking and creative imagination are sufficiently developed.

To develop children's speech creativity, it is necessary to work to increase the levels of verbal sociability, coherent speech, vocabulary, grammatical structure of speech, the sound side of speech, and practical awareness of the elements of language. Educational tasks are solved during routine moments, in the joint activities of children with the teacher, and in the independent activities of children. Well-developed material is used, and it is also necessary to create a large number of new game situations.

It is necessary to organize the child’s speech activity in such a way that it is of a playful and entertaining nature, because only in this way can the child develop the ability to accurately and figuratively express his thoughts and feelings in the spoken word.

An important task of parents and teachers is to create favorable conditions for each child: early physical development; sensory experience and motor skills; an environment that stimulates and advances development; the need for maximum effort, i.e. gradual shifting of the “ceiling” of one’s capabilities higher and higher; a comfortable psychological environment, including recognition of the value of the child’s personality, absence of external assessment, understanding, empathy; unobtrusive, intelligent, friendly help from adults; providing the child with great freedom in choosing activities; availability of free time.

Techniques and methods for developing speech creativity in preschool children

In kindergarten, a wide arsenal of means is used - special speech classes, didactic games, folk games, dramatization games, speech and problem situations, “director’s games”, quizzes, ethical conversations, in which the main attention is paid to the development of the communicative function of speech.

The creative development of a child is possible only with positive motivation. The most powerful motive for a child is play. It is the game that makes the process of completing tasks and solving problem situations interesting, exciting, and stimulating a creative approach. It is necessary to organize the child’s speech activity in such a way that it is of a playful and entertaining nature, because only in this way can the child develop the ability to accurately and figuratively express his thoughts and feelings in the spoken word.

Pay special attention to an individual and differentiated approach to children. Before starting work on composing stories and fairy tales, it is necessary to replenish children’s vocabulary with adjectives, verbs, adverbs, teach them to compare, and select epithets.

A number of speech games can be used for this purpose. For example, “Word on the palm of your hand (on the ceiling, on a tree, in water...)”, “Beautiful words (prickly, sweet, etc.)”, “Find out by description”, “Yes - no”, “Magic wand” , “What does this look like?”, “Name the same toy differently,” “Name it differently (fairy tale, poem, story).”

You can engage in word creation individually, in subgroups, or all together, creating collective fairy tales and poems.

To stimulate the development of speech creativity, it is necessary to shape children’s search activity through questions: “Why?”, “What will happen if...?” Using the possibilities of vocabulary work, a system of exercises to enrich the vocabulary.

Selection of definitions and epithets (what types of mothers are there?)
Recognizing objects by epithets (juicy, ripe, velvety - what is it?)
Selection of actions for the subject (how can you play?)
Selecting an object for action (What is the dog doing?)
Selection of circumstances.
Selection of synonyms (big, huge...)
Finding the missing words (the janitor took a broom, he...)
Distribution and addition of sentences (children go, where? Why?)
Making sentences with a certain word.
Active use in the educational process of works of Russian folk art: tongue twisters, nursery rhymes, proverbs, sayings, etc.

Working methods and techniques:

Modeling using geometric shapes, colored circles, chart cards;
Fantastic transformation of literary text
Transfer of an individual hero to other conditions;
Combining characters from different literary works;
Use of Propp's maps;
Changing the sequence of events in a literary work;
Narrating a work on behalf of a literary character;
Changing the characteristic features of literary characters - using TRIZ technology “good-bad” (“About the good Baba Yaga and the evil girl”, “About the evil carrot and good honey”);
Sound replacement (“Doors and Beasts”);
inventing the beginning, continuation and end of a fairy tale;
writing fairy tales using several techniques, coming up with a “salad from fairy tales.”

Children are required to be able to come up with a plot, a course of events,

climax and denouement. The ability to select individual facts, introduce elements of fantasy into them and compose a creative story. A creative story is a story that children come up with themselves, because there is an element of creativity in any children's story.

The development of creative abilities will awaken the hidden potential, reserves, originality and talent inherent in any child. However, the ability to create, including speech creative ability, will develop most successfully only if its development is promptly provided with appropriate incentives and optimal conditions of the environment in which the child is located.

The tasks facing the teacher in the process of developing speech skills:

Using concrete, understandable material, children of senior preschool age will be introduced to the concept of “sequence” as a logically substantiated, natural process.
Teach children to compose a description by listing objects (signs, properties, etc.) in a certain elementary sequence. Highlight the object of speech when describing. Encourage children's desire to describe objects (pictures), etc., using more complex sequences (for example, according to the degree of significance of features).
To develop children's ability to write narrative statements. Learn to isolate and verbally indicate the main theme of the story. Give an idea of the structure (sequence) of the story: beginning, middle part, ending. Learn to reproduce the structural components of familiar literary works and your own monologues and narratives.
