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

Pre-literacy skills of socio-culturally disadvantaged kindergarten children
Korbelová, Karolína ; Málková, Gabriela (advisor) ; Sotáková, Hana (referee)
The subject of this thesis is the mapping of the pre-literacy skills of socio-culturally disadvantaged children in the last year of kindergarten in comparison with the performance of pre-literacy skills of their peers. The thesis is based on empirical research in kindergartens with children (N=47) aged 68 to 82 months and their parents (legal representatives). The aim of this research work is not only to describe and characterize the pre-literacy skills of pre-schoolers from socio-culturally disadvantaged backgrounds, but also to systematically review what is known about the phenomenon of socio-cultural disadvantage in the existing psychological literature and to propose a specific procedure for identifying socio-cultural disadvantage. This procedure is applied in this paper as part of the methodological steps in the research part of the thesis. The socio-cultural disadvantage is thus identified based on the mother's highest level of education and the child's level of receptive vocabulary. Statistical analyses of data on the pre-literacy skills of socio-culturally disadvantaged children and their peers who are not at risk of socio-cultural disadvantage reveal that socio-culturally disadvantaged children perform statistically significantly worse than children who are not at risk of socio-cultural...

Comparison of teaching methods for initial reading at the beginning of the second grade
Zelinková, Barbora ; Felcmanová, Lenka (advisor) ; Komorná, Marie (referee)
Comparison of teaching methods for initial reading at the beginning of the second grade The thesis focuses on the initial fading teaching methods. It introduces historic development of the methods used in Czech schools as well as current situation. The thesis consists of two main parts. The first part is a summary of information acquired from expert literature. The second part is practical and includes the description and conclusion of a research. The theoretical part focuses on the pre-reading stage and the effect of pre-school education on reading. It presents information about the development of particular functions, clarifies importance of development of skills necessary to master correct technique of reading and introduces factors affecting child's readiness to enter school. Chapter focused on alternative reading teaching methods is also included. The practical part describes comparison of three most frequently used methods of teaching initial reading. The aim of the thesis is to use a small scale research to evaluate general efficiency of teaching methods in relation to the level of reading skills of students. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Evaluation of prevalence of specific learning difficulties at schools using sfumato reading method
Čadková Oriničová, Iveta ; Felcmanová, Lenka (advisor) ; Kotvová, Miroslava (referee)
The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis contains the knowledge gained by analyzing available literature on history, individual types and diagnostics of specific learning disorders, methods of initial reading and writing, and the impact of specific learning disorders on the personality of the child. The practical part of the thesis is a quantitative research carried out by means of a questionnaire survey for the staff of elementary schools in which the method of Sfumato was applied. The aim of the work is evaluation of prevalence of specific learning difficulties - dyslexia in children from the first to the fourth grade at elementary school, where the Sfumato method was chosen for teaching the initial reading. Within the regions of the Czech Republic, the highest incidence of dyslexia is 11.9% in the Moravian-Silesian Region, whereas Prague has the lowest incidence, 3.4%. The lowest incidence of dyslexia was found in pupils in first years, highest in third years. Cross-sectional learning disabilities (SPU 3) were most frequently diagnosed across all years. The research shows that the Sfumato method greatly eliminates the occurrence of severe learning disabilities, up to 0.4%. The overall incidence of dyslexia in the Sfumato method was 6%. Compared with the analytical-synthetic method, both...
