THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRELITERACY IN THE FAMILY OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

The current study is part of a dissertation that deals with the development of reading literacy in a family of preschool children in kindergarten. This study aimed to determine the parental practices that influence preliteracy development in preschool children. For these purposes, a combination of research methods was used - a questionnaire, a diary of parents and an interview with parents. In this post, I present the interviews' results in comparison with the pre-test, which was aimed at determining language and speech skills. The results showed that the differences between parents' practices are noticeable, which to some extent corresponds to the results of individual children in a standardized language and speech skills test. At the end of the thesis, I consider the possible connections of these research findings.
