The Development of Reading Abilities and Difficulties in the Genetic Method
Koníčková, Martina ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Michalová, Zdena (referee)
Development of Reader's Abilities and Difficulties in the Genetic Reading Method The diploma thesis consists of two parts. In the theoretical part, I focused on initial reading from the psychological point of view. I also mentioned the system of writing and initial writing. Furthermore, I deal with methods of initial reading teaching from the historical point of view, and I am particularly engaged in the genetic method. Simultaneously, I also focused on difficulties appearing in reading and early diagnosis and compensation of dyslexia as well as its influence on children's mind. In the practical part, I surveyed the differences between the genetic method and the analytical-synthetic method concerning development of reading. I tried to find out about reading ability development in these children and whether there appear problems during the teaching and to what extent. I focused on the finding, if the efficiency of both methods is the same and I tried to discover if it is also possible to use standards from the 80s, which were concretized in the textbook "Zkouška čtení" (Matějček a kol. 1987) and standardized during time period when was used only the analytical-synthetic method of reading.
