“…Considering reading as a certain level of speech formation, the question arises how important the child's physiological readiness to learn reading is. It is shown that the age at which the child begins to read depends on the level of speech development and the reading learning strategy (Lyakso et al, 2010). The success of the learning correlates with the formation of the child's reading motivation (Snow, 1993), the child's individual characteristics in the process of information processing, and the dominant cognitive style.…”

“…The age from 4 to 8 years is characterized by the complication of grammar, syntax, and pragmatics of speech of children. Understanding the structure and shape of a spoken language is formed (Adams, 1990), and speech processing skills are developed, providing the basis for mastering literacy (Parviainen et al, 2011) and reading skills (Lyakso et al, 2010).…”

The goal of the study is to investigate a correlation between different levels of speech organization, indicating the physiological processes of maturation of the vocal tract structures and brain regions associated with speech and language, and basic electroencephalogram (EEG) rhythms, reflecting the age-related dynamics of maturation of brain structures in children aged 4-11 years. The complex method of analysis, including EEG registration, clinical and spectral analysis of EEG; dichotic listening, identifying the profile of functional lateral asymmetry (PFLA), and phonemic hearing of the child; recording, linguistic, and acoustic analysis of child speech; and identification of speech characteristics reflecting the formation of its different levels, was used. Two complementary experimental series were conducted: the correlation between EEG parameters, speech features, dichotic listening, the PFLA, and phonemic hearing of the child in the age dynamics of 4-11 years (first); the specificity of EEG patterns in children at different stages of reading skills formation (second). The result of this study showed the correlation between acoustic and linguistic features of child speech and brain activity. The analysis of EEG and acoustic features of child speech revealed the correlation between pitch and pitch range values in spontaneous speech and thetarhythm intensity in EEG. High values of pitch and its variation in younger children (4-6 years) are related to the intensity of theta rhythm in the EEG pattern, as this rhythm is most expressed in younger children. It was revealed that the alpha rhythm is asymmetrically localized in children with clear pronunciation of words (which determines the intelligibility of their speech) that is typical for 6.5-to 11-year-old children. The formation of reading skills in a child is associated with a change in the characteristics of the alpha rhythm-from irregular, unstable, low frequency, and low amplitude in children at the beginning of reading skills mastering to medium and low amplitude, regular, asymmetrically localized in children reading words and phrases. The specifics of the relation between brain activity and different levels of speech formation at different child's age periods are discussed.

“…Video registration of infant and mother's behavior during interaction was made. The maturity of different aspects of speech was determined for children of each age group (Lyakso, 2007;Lyakso et al, , 2007Lyakso et al, , 2010 (Table 2). We revealed the correlation between the characteristics of vocalizations and different parameters of speech level in older age taking into account the child age and risk.…”

“…The degree of formation of the children focus on the meaning of the text and the quality of understanding of words and phrases, using the procedure of selection of illustrations to read words and phrases was examined (Lyakso et al, 2010). Clarity pronouncing words when reading was determined based on instrumental spectrographic analysis of speech material (Lyakso, Bednaya, & Grigorev, 2013).…”

The authors present the results of a 7-year longitudinal study of 10 Russian children beginning at birth up to 7 years old. The relationships among vowels diverse, babbling, imitative activity during the first year of a child's life, the amount of the first words at the age of 12 months, stressed vowels duration and pitch variation in mother speech addressed to children of the first year of life, the risk of development of birth, were investigated as predictors of speech development in 2 -7 years. The results are shown that those characteristics predicted complexity of replica in dialogues, compound phrases using, ability to retell, and reading skills formation. The risk of development at birth manifested in EEG-rhythm age immaturity in 7 years that was reflected in speech skills and reading comprehension.
