Abstract: This article explores the significance of fiction in the development of preschool children’s speech and communication skills. The study analyzes the pedagogical role of fairy tales, stories, poems, and other literary works in enriching vocabulary, improving pronunciation, and developing coherent speech. The research highlights that fiction stimulates children’s imagination, emotional responsiveness, and communicative activity, creating favorable conditions for effective language acquisition. Special attention is given to interactive educational methods such as storytelling, dramatization, and dialogic reading, which contribute to the formation of expressive and receptive speech skills. The findings confirm that regular engagement with fiction positively influences preschool children’s linguistic competence, cognitive development, and social interaction. The article emphasizes the necessity of integrating literary activities into preschool educational practice to support holistic child development.
