DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AS AN INNOVATIVE TOOL FOR IMPROVING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' PHONEMIC AND GRAPHIC SKILLS

The development of phonemic and graphic skills is one of the important methodological tasks of primary education, particularly during the period when students acquire initial reading and writing skills. Phonemic perception enables learners to distinguish, analyze, and consciously manipulate speech sounds, while graphic skills ensure the accurate representation of sounds through written symbols. The effective formation of these skills requires not only traditional teaching methods but also innovative pedagogical approaches corresponding to the contemporary digital educational environment. This thesis examines the possibilities of using digital technologies as an innovative methodological tool for improving primary school students' phonemic and graphic skills. Particular attention is paid to interactive exercises, multimedia resources, digital visualizations, audio materials, electronic writing activities, and formative assessment tools. The proposed methodological approach is based on the sequence "listen – distinguish – analyze – select the letter – write – check" and integrates phonemic analysis with graphic practice. The study theoretically substantiates that systematic integration of digital technologies can create additional opportunities for individualization, immediate feedback, repeated practice, and the development of students' independent learning activities.
