Speech development in the middle group of preschool educational institutions
The development of communication and speech skills, which includes enriching vocabulary and developing clear pronunciation, is considered one of the main tasks for preschoolers.
Note! For the correct speech development of children in the middle group, educators do a tremendous amount of work. It is based on a set of special exercises and methodological techniques aimed at improving speech skills and developing a high culture and politeness of speech.
To develop speech in the middle group of preschool educational institutions, various directions are used:
- children’s knowledge and ideas about surrounding objects deepen;
- children become familiar with the details and names of parts of things;
- words denoting the properties of objects and phenomena are studied;
- vocabulary in the field of professions is replenished;
- words that denote relationships between people are studied;
- children learn to express their own thoughts in complex sentences that are grammatically correct.
To solve the assigned tasks in the middle group, the teacher must take a responsible approach to the process and purposefully conduct classes.
Federal State Educational Standards requirements for speech development
All educational institutions, regardless of whether they are public or private, must focus on certain program requirements that are specified in the Federal State Educational Standard.
As for the speech development of preschoolers, the requirements are as follows:
- Vocabulary must be constantly enriched;
- the child must have speech skills in accordance with age;
- the sound and intonation range of speech expressiveness should expand;
- develop the ability to perceive sounds by ear and at the same time hear, identify and, if there are errors, correct them;
- develop the ability to listen and remember the storyline;
- develop logically consistent and meaningful speech;
- skills of retelling and acting out dialogues;
- the child must learn to convey the meaning emotionally and read a poem by heart with expressiveness;
- work should be carried out to expand the horizons of preschoolers about objects, properties, phenomena and the concept of a coordinate system;
- generalizing concepts are introduced into the lexicon;
- training is provided to improve the grammatical construction of sentences.
Note! All training sessions should be conducted by the teacher so that they simultaneously include solving assigned problems and game moments. Only in this case will it be possible to interest children and achieve the desired results.
Age-related psychological characteristics of children in the middle group of preschool educational institutions
In terms of development, middle preschool age is a continuation of early childhood. During this period, children master the world of permanent things, master the culture of speech, and the formation and development of psychological perception also occurs.
In middle age, children continue to actively develop speech, substitution ability, thinking and imagination. With the help of speech, middle group students express their emotions and share their impressions.
Note! There is a rapid development of memorizing information and retaining it in memory, and the ability to concentrate is also enhanced.
As a rule, at this age, kindergarten teachers conduct special planned classes on speech development. They are provided for by special educational standards. But, despite this, pedagogical work in this direction is not limited to a certain framework. The most important thing is that when selecting tools, the teacher must take into account all the age characteristics of his students.
Methodological tools
Within the framework of the requirements of speech development, the teacher faces serious tasks that force him to approach the process thoughtfully, responsibly and in accordance with certain standards.
Basic pedagogical techniques
Each lesson on speech development in the middle group should be based on a specific pedagogical technique. Currently, three main groups of speech development techniques in preschool institutions have been identified. These are verbal, visual and playful techniques.
Their essence is as follows:
- Teaching stories using story pictures.
- Daily reading of fiction, which is provided for in the educational program.
- Carrying out work with children in a conversation format.
- Application of gaming technologies.
- Systematic and unobtrusive repetition of a new word.
- Motivation to complete the curriculum.
Note! In addition to implementing the pedagogical techniques listed above, the teacher must organize physical education sessions for students. They are also part of the curriculum and help to develop a serious attitude towards physical education in children.
Games for speech development
By the age of five, children should learn to pronounce all sounds correctly. You can achieve your goal through daily breathing exercises.
You can form grammatically correct speech thanks to games and exercises:
- "More less".
- “Call me kindly.”
- “Whose toy?”
- “Continue the sentence.”
- "Which".
Speech corner equipment
In order to stimulate independence and informal playful communication with children, in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, an aesthetically attractive, comfortable and special subject-development environment must be created in which children will not be afraid, but rather feel at ease and at ease.
Important! It is best to place the speech corner away from the playing area in a well-lit place. It must be equipped with didactic and visual aids, as well as the necessary materials that are used by the teacher during classes.
Table: filling out the speech corner by section
Chapter | Content |

Note! Among other things, experts recommend having Ushakova’s book “Speech Development” in the speech corner. It examines in detail all the problems of speech development for children in the middle group, selects methodological recommendations and compiles lesson notes.

Lesson on speech development in the middle group
Planning lessons should be carried out according to methodological recommendations.
Lesson structure
Each lesson should be conducted according to a specific scheme:
- The organizational introductory part is characterized by a motivating and stimulating nature. The main task of the teacher at this stage is to get the children into the mood for work and awaken their interest in the topic.
- Practical part - the teacher sets the tasks and explains the essence of the task.

Federal State Educational Standards requirements for speech development
In 2013, our country adopted the Federal State Educational Standard, a special educational standard, on the basis of which kindergarten teachers develop educational programs for preschoolers. The Federal State Educational Standard consists of requirements based on the results of mastering educational programs. According to them, speech development in the middle group of kindergarten includes the following components:
- Its formation is at the level necessary to establish contacts with adults and children of different ages.
- Expanding vocabulary.
- Developing the ability to construct dialogues and conduct a monologue.
- Development of speech creativity, i.e. the ability to compose a story or come up with a poem.
- Reading books, improving reading comprehension skills.
- The ability to separate words into individual sounds and combine sounds into words.
- Mastering the principles of pronunciation and stress in words, the ability to expressive speech.
Age-related psychological characteristics of middle group children
Children 4-5 years old are more active, their emotionally charged activities become a way of psychological release, but, most importantly, they begin to experience an urgent need to communicate with peers. If previously a child could calmly be in the company of toys, books or cartoons, now he wants to talk and do it a lot and for a long time. That is why in the middle group of a kindergarten a developing speech environment should be created and classes should be conducted that will stimulate speech. However, for the most part, children's speech develops through their interactions with each other. Also, new features appear in the interaction of preschoolers with teachers; they begin to strive for cognitive, intellectual communication. It is at this moment that it is important to begin developing a culture of verbal communication, to set a speech example for children. During this period, you cannot brush off the child’s questions or answer with irritation or reluctance.
