Proposal of system support for the reading environment in kindergarten (action research)
Fiedlerová, Eliška ; Laufková, Veronika (advisor) ; Ronková, Jolana (referee)
The thesis focuses on the topic of reading preliteracy and the creation of a quality reading environment. The aim of the thesis is to encourage children and parents to develop their interest in reading and books through the implementation of various activities. The thesis is divided into theoretical and empirical parts. In the theoretical part, there is an explanation of what the reading environment is and how it is influenced. Furthermore, there is a definition of the basic concepts related to reading preliteracy and its importance in the child's development. It also describes selected activities and projects that promote reading and what a children's library in a school should look like. Finally, the theoretical part describes appropriate genres for preschool children and recommended selected titles for children's libraries. The empirical part describes the research conducted in the selected kindergarten. Action research was determined as the form of research that best met the conditions for achieving the given goal. The problem of action research was determined to be the lack of interest in books and reading among children and their parents. Six research questions were set and activities were designed to increase interest. Furthermore, observation, interview and questionnaire methods were used...

Language development of child - basics of reading literacy
FEIKOVÁ, Eliška
This bachelor thesis is focused on the language development of a preschool child. The theoretical part deals with the development of speech, individual language levels, preschool children, and their education. It marginally mentions the topic of reading pre-literacy and literacy, which a child must develop at a preschool age, so it can build on the acquired skills later in the basic education of acquisition of initial reading and writing. The practical part includes a qualitative survey, which uses a diagnostic battery to determine the language level of children before the start of compulsory schooling. Subsequently, a program to support language and reading pre-literacy is implemented with ten respondents. The results show that if the language area not only develops naturally but also purposefully, the results in the child's speech improve. Children learn their language skills better and use the grammar of the particular language correctly.

Morfological and phonological awareness as predictors of reading literacy
LIETAVCOVÁ, Martina
The dissertation is engaged in reading pre-literacy difficulties from the point of view of psychological and psycholinguistic, particularly the factors that influence the development of reading literacy before children start to attend elementary schools. The aim is to analyze the factors which are considered as fundamental to the development of pre-reading skills, and above all it emphasizes phonological and morphological factors. Morphological factors seem to be applicable in transparent, consistent orthographic systems, that also include the Czech language environment. The empirical part presents the results of quantitative survey made with some children before starting their elementary education. It is followed by thorough longitudinal examination of pupils when the influence of morphological reading skills is observed. The results showed that the influence of morphological awareness in the Czech language environment is comparable to the predictable effect of phonological awareness. However, both types of the predictors appear in a different way, according to various reading parameters. Phonological awareness is closely related to decoding (especially to the speed of reading), on the other hand morphological awareness is related to reading comprehension. While testing the child´s comprehension, two various circumstances were distinguished, loud and quiet reading. While reading loud the position of morphological awareness is a lot more dominant compared to the position of phonological awareness. By the appearance, the predictable effect of morphological and phonological awareness was changing if the two predictors were studied individually or as the set of all the used predictors. The study of research helps to recognize the "backward" children having big problems with morphological skills that can endanger their further development of reading. The results have been put in context along with the professional Czech and foreign literature data.

Use of Lapbook to Develop Reading Pre-Literacy in Preschool Children
Matoušová, Jaroslava ; Laufková, Veronika (advisor) ; Ronková, Jolana (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the Lapbook teaching method and its use to develop reading literacy for preschool-age children. The aim is to develop a deeper understanding of the text read by children and their creation of their own interactive book. The work presents an integrative project that is to stimulate children's interest in literature, understanding the story through appropriately selected activities and get acquainted with the entire process of making a Lapbook. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part characterizes in general reading literacy, reading pre-literacy and its anchoring in the Framework Educational Program for Preschool Education. Furthermore, the characteristics of the period in terms of the child's development and the development of reading skills, the factors influencing reading, such as the influence of family or kindergarten, and the prerequisites for the development of reading literacy. The topic is also the importance of the book for preschool children and reading strategies with a focus on the E - U - R model (evocation - awareness of meaning - reflection). Finally, it deals with the definition of the Lapbook teaching method and instructions for its production. The practical part is based on action research, which was focused on...

Reading Strategies in Preschool Education
Koželuhová, Eva
The aim of the thesis was to clarify how nursery teachers develop children's comprehension of the text read aloud and how they evaluate the possibility of using reading strategies to support children's comprehension during reading. In the theoretical part, I focused on defining the concept of reading literacy and pre-literacy, approaching the concept of the development of reading pre-literacy in the Czech Republic and clarifying the concept of comprehension of the text. Subsequently, I dealt with the issue of reading strategies and introduced those that are suitable for use in preschool age. In the empirical part, I used the qualitative approach of a multi-case study, which involved eight kindergarten teachers. Through in-depth interviews, repeated observation of the teachers' work with the text and subsequent analysis of video recordings of this work, answers to research questions were sought. It has been shown that teachers intend to develop children's comprehension, but only on a literal level, their work with texts is intuitive, without setting specific goals and monitoring the degree of their achievement. It turned out that reading strategies require a willingness of the teacher to work with them regularly and purposefully and to prepare for reading, which does not correspond to the prevailing...
