ABSTRACTThis study examined whether books that are typically read to preschool children contain theory of mind concepts. The parents of 47 preschool children recorded books read by or to their child over a one-week period. The books were analyzed for theory of mind content. It was found that 78% of the books contained internal state language, 34% contained false beliefs, and 43% contained personality descriptors. Thus, theory of mind concepts appear to be an integral part of the literature read to preschool children. These results are discussed in light of recent work on individual differences in theory of mind development.

The study examines the aspect of the formation of speech in preschool children, as a unity of imitation and creativity. According to the Federal State Educational Standard of Preschool Education: «The speech development of children includes the possession of speech as a means of communication and culture; the enrichment of an active vocabulary; the development of coherent, grammatically correct dialogical and monological speech; the development of speech creativity; the development of sound and intonation culture of speech, phonemic hearing; acquaintance with book culture, children's literature, understanding by ear texts of various genres of children's literature; formation of sound analytical and synthetic activity as a prerequisite for literacy training» [3]. The «Concept of Preschool education» notes that «Imagination is the basis for the active participation of a child in various types of activities. It is included in the composition of already known forms of thinking (visual-effective, visual-figurative). On the basis of imagination, children develop the first manifestations of a creative attitude to reality» [4]. The article considers the views of teachers and methodologists on the speech development of preschool children. The method of speech development of preschool children is also described: the «Binomial fantasy» method. Binomial fantasies are used in two areas of the development of imagination and logic of thinking: - To generate ideas for new objects or the transformation of an existing object; - To get ideas for writing fairy-tale or fantastic stories (speech creation). The article reveals the algorithm of work according to the method, in accordance with two directions. The prospect of the research the theoretical substantiation of the unity of imitation and creativity in the formation of speech in preschool children.
