Šišková, Dorota ; Nováková Schöffelová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Málková, Gabriela (referee)
Phonemic awareness which will be discussed in the diploma thesis is considered to be one of the important predictors of future success in reading and writing. In the theoretical part, we define basic concepts, focus on predictors of reading and writing and the phonological deficit in child development. The research part is conceived as a quasi-experiment in which we monitor the impact of Trénink jazykových schopností dle D. B. Elkonin on the language skills of preschool children. Our goal of the thesis is to evaluate the effect of the Czech adaptation of the intervention program for children and to capture the changes as a result of the implementation of this intervention program. The research sample consists of an experimental group and a control group. Before and after completing the intervention, the children were tested and measured for their level of phonemic awareness (specifically, a test of isolation of the first and last sounds, synthesis of sounds). Children from the experimental group were also measured with a sentence repetition test. The results of the research investigation showed a positive effect of the subject intervention in the area of children's language development. Children who were weak in the area of their language development before the training showed significantly better...

The Content Analysis of Czech Initial Reading Textbooks in Terms of Phoneme Awareness
Al Haboubi, Lucie
The thesis presents psycholinguistic concept of literacy and the key role of phonemic awareness as a skill proceding reading. Based on the preschool curiculum documents and on the analyses of didactic material designated for the first weeks of school (called Živá abeceda) we found this: the resources either don't contain development of the skill at all or when they do, it's higly unsystematic - it does not respect the psycholinguistic characteristic of the word material, nor the structure of phonemic awareness development. We mention the possibilities of future research. Key words: phonemic awareness, pre-literacy skills, psycholinguistic concept of literacy, initial reading, analytic-synthetic method, language introductory period
