La conciencia fonológica y su influencia como estrategia de desarrollo del lenguaje en niños de 3 a 5 años de la ciudad de Macará

Abstract

Abstract: Phonological awareness is an essential metalinguistic skill in early childhood language development, facilitating children's pronunciation and comprehension of language. This research was conducted with the aim of assessing the level of language development, describing the teaching strategies used, and proposing pedagogical actions aimed at strengthening phonological awareness. The methodology was based on a qualitative approach, using techniques such as direct observation and interviews, which allowed for a comprehensive understanding of the educational practices and linguistic skills of the children. The results show that the systematic stimulation of phonological awareness significantly promotes oral language development, especially in sound discrimination, vocabulary expansion, and pronunciation improvement. The conclusion is that the application of playful and didactic strategies based on phonological awareness contributes positively to the comprehensive development of language in early education, strengthening communication processes and laying a solid foundation for learning to read and write.
