The Development of Family Literacy among Toddlers

Namen zaključnega dela z naslovom Razvoj družinske pismenosti pri malčkih je znotraj družinskega okolja spodbuditi skupno branje ter sodelovanje več generacij. V ta namen je navedena raznolika in kakovostna otroška literatura ter nabor dejavnosti, ki jih zajema družinska pismenost. Delo je ustvarjeno z željo po ozaveščanju in opolnomočenju staršev oz. otrokovih pomembnih odraslih o esencialnosti družinske pismenosti in vrednosti slednje za otrokov razvoj. V teoretičnem delu je tako predstavljen pojem družinske pismenosti in njena vloga pri otrokovem razvoju. Predstavljeni so gradniki bralne pismenosti in veščine, ki naj bi jih malček znotraj teh usvajal. Opredeljena je slikanica in navedene iztočnice, na katere se lahko opremo ob iskanju kakovostnih slikaniških del. Pri raziskovanju so uporabljene deskriptivna metoda, metoda klasifikacije, metoda analize, metoda sinteze, komparativna metodo in metoda praktičnega dela. V praktičnem delu diplomske naloge je opravljena multimodalna analiza štirih izbranih slikanic. Sledi šest povzetkov iz del izvirajočih dejavnosti, ki so izvedene na neslučajnostnem vzorcu treh malčkov, in opis odzivov otrok. Poudarjen je model celostnega branja slikanice. Ugotovljeno je, da malčki, ob prisotnosti njemu pomembnih odraslih, z veseljem sodelujejo v dejavnostih družinske pismenosti. Pri tem so potrebne prilagoditve glede na otrokov razvoj. Posega se po kakovostnih delih in otroka aktivno vključuje v dejavnosti. Malčki imajo branje radi in ob pozitivnih izkušnjah kažejo velik interes zanj.The purpose of the final work entitled The Development of Family Literacy among Toddlers is to encourage joint reading and multigenerational participation within the family environment. For this purpose, we cite a wide range of high-quality children\u27s literature and a range of family literacy activities. Through our work we want to raise awareness and empower parents and the adults important to the child about the essentiality of family literacy and its value for the child\u27s development. In the theoretical part, we introduce the concept of family literacy and its role in children’s development. Then we touch on the building blocks of reading literacy and the skills a toddler is supposed to acquire within them. We define a picture book and list the starting points that we can use when looking for quality picture books works. In the research we used the descriptive method, the method of classification, the method of analysis, the method of synthesis, the comparative method and the method of practical work. In the practical part of the diploma thesis, we performed a multimodal analysis of four selected picture books. This is followed by six summaries of the activities carried out on a non-contingency sample of three toddlers and a description of the children\u27s responses. We emphasise the holistic picture book reading model. We find out that toddlers, in the presence of adults who are important to them, are happy to participate in family literacy activities. This requires adjustments according to the child\u27s development. We look for quality work and actively involve the child in activities. Toddlers love reading and show a keen interest in it through positive experiences
