Pre-school period is the most important period for holistic child development, especially for speech development. They have an important role adults and educators who with the help of reading encourage the development of a child's speech, the pairing of the written language, which later affects the development of their reading skills, all together a decisive influence on the development of literacy in children. We can help with appropriate book, magazine or seize on modern technology, such as the Tablet PC and so children present the appropriate wording.
The thesis titled with Book or Tablet PC as a means of promoting children's language development is comprised of theoretical and empirical part. In the theoretical part I defined the concept of speech, I described the development of speech in connection with the thinking, I presented the milestones in language development and the factors who influencing it. I presented the importance of books and reading to preschool children, the importance of information and communication technologies, and compared them. I have highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of Tablet PC or e-book.
In the empirical part I'm using observation conducted a research in which I wanted to find out which assets more encourage speech in children: with book or a Tablet PC? The research I conducted in kindergarten Velenje, Unit Sonček, children aged 2-5 years. In the empirical part I show, which asset it is more efficient and where the strengths and weaknesses of individual assets.
Research has shown that children showed more interest in the Tablet PC. Definitely, they are both about the same assets they remember the words of the story. Through activities I can conclude that the children assimilated a little more vocabulary and showed more imaginative use of language by using the Tablet PC, but the differences are not large.
