Language enables the child to fulfill many functions in his / her life besides communicating. It helps the development of memory and classification ability in cognitive processes, especially for the child to evaluate his / her behavior in the face of a difficult and new problem and to produce solutions with his own cultural values. Learning to understand, use, and have fun is the first step in literacy and is the foundation for learning to read and write. The language development of children who attend pre-school institutions is better than those who do not. New enriched applications are needed to contribute more to development.
