Abstract:

Already a child attending kindergarten, which includes compulsory pre-school education, knows what a mobile phone, smartphone or iPhone is for. They know that on a tablet or computer they can watch a fairy tale, interesting shows, films, learn on it or play computer games. For kindergarten teachers, the process of including ICT in the educational process should be purposeful, thoughtful and systematic. More and more teachers are creating their own electronic aids, adapting them to what they need to develop in children and what educational and educational tasks they need to fulfil.

This paper focuses on the possibilities of using ICT to create and use electronic teaching aids and applications for children with developmental speech disorders. In the paper we present our own interactive exercises that are usable in pre-primary and primary education. The exercises are oriented towards the pronunciation of problematic vowels, specifically hisses. In addition to the applications that focus on correct pronunciation, the paper also describes an educational video containing a short oromotor exercise. The author's created didactic aids are freely available on the Internet. In the paper we point out the importance of speech therapy intervention and prevention in preschool education in mainstream kindergartens and also in the first level of primary schools. The paper describes the possibilities of prevention, correction and elimination of developmental errors through various activities, games and exercises. The exercises described in the paper are created in the LearningApps environment and DaVinci Resolve was used to create the video. In the article we also present the description and results of a pedagogical experiment, which was oriented towards testing the developed applications in pedagogical practice.
