Abstract

In this paper we will discuss the possibilities for the systematic stimulation of early literacy development. Listening to adult reading and make-believe reading are the children's first pre-reading activities, and these activities influence the actualization of other people's speech in children's minds. The first global reading, observation, and creation of rhymes, as well as intuitive comprehension of the syllable in a song or a counting rhyme are the outset of the children's ability to manipulate linguistic units and principles of the symbolic representation. The aspirations towards the mental and visual manipulation of linguistic units help them form the appropriate pre-literary predispositions. The next level of encouragement will imply the introduction of the following terms: sentence, word, sound and letter. With such bases, it will be possible to train children to perform word analysis and synthesis, the symbolic representations of linguistic units, until the final introduction into the world of literacy.
