the article presents the results of an experimental study of the level of development of phonemic processes in modern older preschoolers with phonetic and phonemic underdevelopment. It is revealed that there is a lag in all components of phonemic processes – phonemic perception, analysis, synthesis, representations. Complex forms of phonemic analysis and synthesis, phonemic representations turned out to be the most impaired, while phonemic hearing and phonemic perception suffer to a lesser extent. The necessity of purposeful speech therapy work on the further development of identified shortcomings is determined.
