Musical activities supporting speech therapy prevention of preschool children
HOLEJŠOVSKÁ, Ludmila
This bachelor thesis deals with logopaedic prevention and the development of communication skills of preschool children. My choice of the topic "Musical activities supporting logopaedic prevention in preschool children" was motivated not only by my fondness for music and singing, but also by noticeable increase in incidence of speech impediments. In today's hectic world, music and singing lost its importance that it used to have in our lives. Singing at home has become an exception despite the fact that it is crucial for the healthy development of communication skills of a child. The Theoretical part of the thesis analyses the characteristics of the speech of preschool children, it also describes the most frequent speech impediments and their prevention including musical activities. The Practical part of this bachelor thesis consists of a methodical collection called "With a song from autumn to summer" that is focused on musical activities and logopaedic prevention, which I compiled and applied in practice and in reflection.
