Ejercicios de soplo en el desarrollo del lenguaje articulatorio en niños y niñas de 3 a 4 años

Abstract

The present research, titled "Blowing Exercises in the Development of Articulatory Language in Children Aged 3 to 4 Years," aimed to assess the impact of blowing exercises on improving articulatory language during the preschool stage. To achieve this, three specific objectives were established: to diagnose the initial level of articulatory skills, to implement a set of activities involving blowing exercises, and to evaluate the changes in language development after the intervention.The pretest results showed that 75% of the children were at an initial level with difficulties in phoneme articulation, 25% were at an intermediate level, and none reached an advanced level. Following the intervention, the post test revealed significant improvement: 90% of the participants achieved an appropriate final level of articulation, and 10% remained at the intermediate level, with no cases remaining at the initial level. The statistical analysis supported these improvements, yielding a p-value of 1.809e-11, which is significantly lower than the standard significance level (α = 0.05). This allows for the rejection of the null hypothesis (H₀) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H₁). Therefore, the statistical evidence confirms that the intervention had a significant effect. In conclusion, blowing exercises prove to be an effective strategy for strengthening articulatory skills in young children.
