PRE-READING PLAY IN THE EXPLORATORY PROCESS

Abstract

The fragments of the project which will try to present the way of succeeding in specified goals of the new pre-school programs are singled out here. Through consideration of these fragments, the most important frameworks of the project focus on encouragement of early literacy, for which it was important to form an exploratory relation toward the problem and discover new ways of guiding the project (study process). In order to create a ,,problematic situation‘‘ we have chosen ,,Forest News ads‘‘ and ,,Cabbage Leaf ads‘‘ by Branko Ćopić. Described within the paper are values of said literary works and the ways that they have brought out the need to play in children. The game they played was based on language exploration. Focus of this paper is development of pre-reading competencies which have led children to new interests and desire to expand the game with practical exploration. The goal is to present how pre-reading activities encourage children to perceive contents and materials from a different developmental area and to gain new insight by developing different potentials. In order to achieve this goal, we identified practical examples which will show different ways of guiding the project, during which we made sure to concentrate on the child as a unique and integral being.
