Verbal thinking is a person's ability to express their thoughts and feelings in words. Its carrier is speech. The owner of good verbal thinking possesses a rich vocabulary, knows how to competently use speech to convey his thoughts and exchange information.
Instructions
Step 1
Word, a powerful tool for interaction, communication. Verbal thinking needs to be developed starting from childhood. From birth, the child hears speech and perceives it, then tries to copy, combining non-verbal and verbal methods of transmitting information. Until he can explain in words what and where he needs to get, he will indicate it with signs or with his hand. He will express his reluctance to eat by turning away from a spoon with food. Or reach out, nod in agreement when offered fruit.
Step 2
When playing with your child, you need to talk to him as much as possible. Involving the child in the game, arouse in him the desire to “speak out” as he can, let it be only attempts of non-verbal communication. Returning from a walk, for example, and asking the questions: “What did you see, hear, who did you meet, what is the weather?”, The elders should help the child answer the questions. But be sure to attract his attention, demanding confirmation of the answers. His brain will search hard for words. Gradually, the speech format deepens and by the age of 3 he is able to express his thoughts not in simply connected words, but in whole sentences. Let the speech is still very simple, but it already has a chromaticity, volume.
Step 3
Help, paint the world for the kid. “We saw a big blue sky, a bright sun was shining, we were playing with a red ball in a green meadow.” Including the concepts of warm, cold, strong, weak, you complicate questions and get non-primitive answers, thereby developing verbal thinking. Develop the ability to generalize, highlight the common in different objects, sensations. Warm sun, fur coat, heating battery. But a bright light bulb, sun, Christmas tree lights.
Step 4
From word to sentence, from sentence to story, the process of identifying meaning, a linguistic unit will be improved. A certain period must pass for the level of development of verbal thinking to become higher and higher. As a result, a person will be able to fluently use many concepts in his thoughts and convey the meaning to the interlocutor.
Step 5
What can be used in training? Pictures, objects in the room, on the street. Expand concepts. First, transport, then the distinction of air, land, water transport. While playing with words, involve both children and adults, praise for a detailed description of the object, each time complicating it (color, size, volume). Considering the pictures, make a comparative description of the object under study. A fly, a bee, a bumblebee, who is more of them, who is useful, who can fly.
Step 6
By developing verbal thinking, we give the child the opportunity to clearly put thoughts into words. Active, active children have a large vocabulary, they speak the word correctly, but this does not give confidence that they will show the same abilities in other subjects at school.
