The article clarifies the concept of the «speech culture of older preschool children» and differentiates it from adjacent terms such as «language culture» «speech culture» in the narrow linguistic sense, «communicative culture» and «culture of verbal interaction». The theoretical review shows that the classical triad – normative, communicative, and ethical components – helps describe the phenomenon but is insufficiently operational for preschool practice. As a working solution, a four-component framework is proposed: a cognitive component (children’s representations of language and text), a communicative component (skills of interaction and listening), an emotional-creative component (expressiveness, imagination, self-initiated speech), and a competence component (transfer of skills across different types of children’s activity). Empirically, expository – reproductive methods prevail, leading mainly to imitative uptake of norms. The paper substantiates a heuristic approach that creates a developmental language environment and organizes guided adult – child communication in play, inquiry tasks, movement activities, and project situations where norms are discovered through action. The conclusion outlines parameters for pedagogical design, anticipated learning outcomes, and directions for further research aimed at building and testing this model.

Key words: speech culture; children of senior preschool age; heuristic approach
