The role of symbolic play in early literacy development
Marjanovič Umek, Ljubica ; Fekonja, Urška
The latest theories in developmental psychology and psycholinguistics explain early or emergent literacy as a process that begins in the early periods of child development and in which child language ...plays an important role. Vygotsky, whose theory especially highlights the important role of language and culture in child development, understands early literacy as an interconnection of thought and language processes. During the development and learning process, children internalize various aspects of a culture and its sign system, which has developed within the culture and between cultures for centuries. Therefore during infancy, and later during toddlerhood and early childhood, it is important that children have significant exposure to a symbolically rich environment: adult-child social interaction, responsive and sensitive communication and conversation, joint reading of children's books, and symbolic play. This paper focuses on the findings of several Slovenian studies that examined factors in child language (especially components such as vocabulary, communication skills, metalinguistic awareness, and storytelling) that are also significantly linked with the development of early literacy during early childhood. We explain the effect of preschool teachers systematically reading to children in preschool (reading frequency and quality) on children's language development (general language development and storytelling) and we clarify the importance of free symbolic play (in contrast to routine or planned preschool activities) for the development of language comprehension and expression among preschool children.
