Due to the focus of the diploma thesis, the greatest emphasis is placed on the speech development of a preschool child. The content of the chapter devoted to speech development is also the definition of language levels of speech. The theoretical part in one of the chapters defines the concepts of phonetics, phonology and phonological abilities.

Jusková, Denisa ; Korandová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Horynová, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the issue of phonological abilities of children with dyslalia in preschool age. The main goal of the thesis lies therefore in the analysis of the phonological abilities of the stated target group. Based on the main goal, partial objectives and research questions were defined. A method of qualitative research strategy - a case study was used to fulfil the objectives of the thesis. To gather the data, test methods and analysis of the available documents were used. To create a comprehensive picture of the monitored children, the methods mentioned above were supplemented with an interview with a clinical speech therapist. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical part and the empirical part. The theoretical part consists of three chapters. The first chapter deals with the definition of key terms such as communication, communication skills, as well as the development of speech, language and communication. In this chapter, attention is paid also to a preschool child. The second chapter describes the issue of phonological abilities, which are presented in the context of the phonetic- phonological language level. The last chapter looks into the issue of dyslalia. The empirical part is then devoted to the description of the whole process of the research survey....

Influence of Elkonin's method on phonological ability of preschool children
Konopásková, Šárka ; Korandová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Horynová, Jana (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the influence of Elkonin's method on phonological abilities in preschool age. In the term of content, the thesis is divided into two main parts - teoretical and empirical. The first main part creates a theoretical framework of the selected topic and is further divided into four chapters. First, the basic terminology - speech and language - are defined and the ontogenesis of human speech is conceptualized in more detail. The next chapter describes the phonological skills. There is also a distinction between phonological and phonemic awareness and a possible diagnosis of the field of phonological processing. Above all, the Battery of Tests of Phonological Abilities (by the authors Seidlová Málková and Caravolas) is described, because it was used for the needs of the research. The third chapter characterizes the methodology of D. B. Elkonin. The last chapter approaches school maturity and its diagnosis. The empirical part has a qualitative character and its main purpose of the researche is to analyze the influence of Elkonin's method on the phonological abilities of preschool children.

Phonological abilities of children and their development in the private and public kindergarten
KRUMLOVÁ, Eva
This Bachelor thesis is focusing on the phonological abilities of preschool children. These phonological abilities are important for practicing on reading skills. The main objective was to examine children and to describe the process and findings. Some possible measures for their further development are devised, too. The theoretical part of the thesis covers the development of the preschool child. Its focus are the perceptually motoric and cognitive functions in connection with the development of phonological abilities. Additionally, it also describes the difference between school maturity vs. readiness and competence. Furthermore, it covers communication skills, speech and it defines phonetics and phonology. Finally, the boundary conditions of education and the methods of work in the private and public kindergarten are mentioned. The practical part is based on the examination of preschool children. It describes the findings and attempts to compare children from private and public kindergartens. The thesis concludes with a few suggestions for activities in order to facilitate the further development of the abilities under research.

Development of the phonological and morphological abilities of children before the school age
DĚDOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the development of the phonological and morphological abilities of children before the school age. Individual areas of perceptual-motoric function, cognitive function, phonological and morphological abilities, speech and dyslexia are described in the theoretical part of this thesis. A qualitative type of research was done for this thesis. Eight five-year-old children and two six-year-old children were tested by the test battery. These children attend the ordinary kindergarten. The test battery contains several tests (exams) for testing the level of visual perception, hearing perception, knowledge, level of logical thinking and spatial ideas, memory, morphological abilities and articulation abilities. The research showed problematic areas of children from the test battery. Progresses for development of these problematic areas in the ordinary kindergarten are mentioned in this bachelor thesis.

Predictors of reading skills development in the context of risk of specific learning disabilities.
PUDÍKOVÁ, Jana
This thesis explores the possibilities of dyslexia prediction at primary children. It is divided into two parts a theoretical one and a practical one. The introduction of the theoretical part is focused on the children reading skills development. However, the possibilities of reading failure prediction and diagnosis of dyslexia are the key content of this part. In this respect I focus on the preschoolers and children at the beginning of the school attendance. I mention a few predictive batteries. The theoretical part is concluded with the current information about dyslexia prevalence in the Czech Republic and abroad. The practical part is based on the theoretical part. It contains the results of the research investigation. I got these results during the testing of morphological and phonological abilities as well as reading tests. The research was performed in the second class of primary school. The main objective of the thesis was to find out what is the relationship between performance in reading and morphological and phonological abilities.The test method of the quantitative investigation was used in this research.
