Development of phonemic perception in children using AR-technologies in the context of literacy training

the article is devoted to the problem of the development of phonemic perception in children. The field of scientific branches within which research is conducted in the field of speech development (psychology, pedagogy), as well as the use of digital technologies, is outlined. Phonemic perception plays a key role in preparing children for literacy by providing discrimination, analysis, and synthesis of speech sounds. It has been established that insufficient development of the presented skills can make it difficult to master reading and writing. Modern research confirms that systematic work on phonemic perception increases readiness for school learning. A promising direction is the use of augmented reality (AR), which creates an interactive environment for sound analysis. The article considers the possibilities of AR-technologies in the development of phonemic perception in preschool children, presents methods aimed at the formation of auditory attention and sound-letter connections. As a practical solution, a model of a session using Quiver Education, AR Alphabet, Metaverse Studio, which contributes to the increase of motivation and efficiency of learning, is proposed.
