Estrategias de estimulación temprana para fomentar el lenguaje verbal en niños de educación inicial.

Abstract

The early stimulation of verbal language is paramount since it is fundamental in the comprehensive development of children in early childhood. This theoretical review aims to describe the main results obtained on the importance of early stimulation strategies. For this purpose, systematic, documentary, and literature research was conducted with a descriptive non-experimental cross-sectional design. The search was performed utilizing different sources of information, such as books, articles, and theses under the following search terms: strategies, early stimulation, verbal language, and early education; finding a total of 51 documents, so considering the following aspects: validity, relevance, and reliability, 33 types of research were chosen in different databases including Redalyc, SciELO, Proquest, RRAAE; from North American, European, Latin American and the Caribbean countries, prioritizing publications from the last 10 years. The results obtained from the analysis of the information show that there are several strategies and activities for verbal language stimulation, but teachers neither use nor apply these strategies. Therefore, a guide for teachers on strategic early stimulation activities to develop verbal language in children is proposed.
