Influence of Music and Movement Exercises on the Development of Prosodic Competences in Five‑ and Six‑year‑old ChildrenThis article presents the results of my study of the effect of music exercise and music and movement exercise on the development of prosodic competencies among five‑ and six‑year‑old children whose phonetic and phonological system is at the end of its dynamic development. This period is marked with very intensive development of the ability to perceive specific characteristics of prosodic speech units. The aim of the study was to evaluate this effect. The main objectives of conducted experiment were to examine the prosodic competences in terms of perception as well as to develop and implement a treatment program connected with shaping perception skills in terms of elements common to speech and music (such features as: height, volume, time and duration; and such phenomena as: speed, rhythm, melody, intonation), which in turn would lead to an increase in the level of prosodic competences. An experimental research method with the selection of a parallel group was applied in the experiment. The test procedure included a study on physiological hearing and an examination of the perception of prosodic speech in children from experimental and control groups.Key words: prosodic speech, prosodic competences, logorythmics, ways of improving prosody
