The main aim of the research is to methodologically specify the methods of literacy development of pre-school and school age children at selected nursery and primary schools in Luby. The theoretical part deals with the key concepts of the questions in research and discusses the methodological approaches suitable for working with this age group with an emphasis on the development of the key skills of literacy.

Therefore one of the main aims of this thesis is to create a useful methodological material that would become a suitable tool for teachers working with children of this age group. Meanwhile I have been enquiring the way of continuing cooperation between nursery and primary school. The methods used for data collection include participant observation in two types of schools. i.e. pre-school class in Luby and the first grade at the primary school in Luby, in which I participate both as an observer and participant. Furthermore, there are standardized interviews with the teachers of pre-school education and primary school teachers of the 1st grade. The data are divided into the synoptic units, from which I took the final results of this research issue.
