The early literacy development and its variability in children at risk of dyslexia: The prediction models of literacy deficits.
Medřická, Tereza ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Špačková, Klára (referee) ; Bytešníková, Ilona (referee)
In the context of both projects Enhancing literacy development in European languages, work package 2 and The early literacy development and its variability in children at risk of specific learning disabilities, we monitored child development of literacy in preschool age and during the first years of school attendance in a four-stage process. The research group (n = 76) compound of typically developing children (BV = 37), children with the family risk of dyslexia (RR = 22) and children with specific language impairment (NVŘ = 17). We evaluated development of phonemic/phonological, lexical/semantic and morphological/syntactic skills, preliteracy skills and early literacy skills. The last fifth test stage included the assessment of literacy development in 3rd graders. First, a group of children with literacy deficits (n = 9) was identified via the latent profile analysis method. Subsequently, four predictive models of literacy deficits for each stage were created by means of lasso or L-1 penalized regression method. Predictive models follows the trend that until literacy skills are fully automatized (preschool age and the 1st grade), phonemic and phonological skills predominate, but later - after the formal learning to read and write proceeds - early literacy skills are becoming more and more...

The expectations about school in children primarily with hearing impairment or communication disability
Kalousová, Tereza ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor) ; Medřická, Tereza (referee)
The Master theses is focussing on children starting school and their expectations on school. Research is involving children with hearing disability and impaired communication skills. The essence of theses is to analyze these expectations. Specifically if these expectations are complex and in what specific way children's hearing or communication disability interferes with their expectations on school and with other areas such as drawing. Research is based on experience with sample of children primarily with hearing disability and impaired communication skills. All of these children attend the same type of school. Experiences come from two meetings I had with them. In the first phase all children attended kindergarten, in the second phase they were first grade pupils. In both phases they attended the same building, because kindergarten is part of the school. Their assignment was to draw a picture on a school theme. Then they were interviewed over their drawings. The collected data are thus processed qualitatively. In conclusion the results of the whole research are formulated, which were determined mainly on the basis of comparison with similar researches. However, those researches were focused on expectations of intact children. It turned out that the children from my group did not have as specific...
