heir own competencesfor supporting literacy development of children,for supporting parents’ competences for supporting literacy development of childrenKindergarten-project – Kaposvár UniversitySlide3
Sample: 30 kindergarten pedagogues (2 kindergarten
s, about 306 children)Questions:
Children's attitudes to tales, storytelling, books in infant toddler centre and in kindergarten.
Storytelling habits at home, trends and changes.Supporting parents’ involvement, possibilities for co-operation, promotion, mutual reflection regarding storytelling.
The place and the role of storytelling in the work of the education staff, their competences, strengths and weaknesses
Our pilot-study: Focus-group interviews with kindergarten-pedagoguesSlide4
Storytelling in the families: Varied
picture: storytelling takes place often, rarely or never (in families)Books are rarely given to children (as a present), and sometimes with the aim of supporting development„trendy tales”Intimacy between parents and children isn't as important as it was before
Some results of pilot studySlide5
Children's attitudes to tales, storytelling, books in
kindergarten:Children like storytelling, but they can listen to
it less and less
They like picture book reading together with pedagogueThey rarely bring books from
home
to
kindergarten
The
pedagogues have positive experiences in library visiting
The media-tales are often present during the play of children
pedagogues' opinion: it is not positive Slide6
The place and the role of storytelling in the work of the education staff
Pedagogues don't really know the contemporary literature for childrenThey would have consultations
with HUNRA (Hungarian Reading Society)They recommend books, tales etc. to each other
They don't really know the new animation films for children (it depends on, how old are their own children)Slide7
Supporting parents involvement
Common storytelling with parents and children ambivalent experiences Interactive storytelling with parents it wasn't successfulThere were drama plays on parents evening first there was aversion
to it

We organised parents’ evenings once a month, 4 times Their issues were:Movement and language development in infancy
The role of attachment between mother and child in language developmentWhy shall we tell stories, tales every day?Literacy development, skills for learning reading and writing
Parents’ evenings – Programme for supporting competences of pedagogues and parentsSlide11
Methodological framework of the evenings was the method of Carl Rogers The moderator was the director of kindergartenThe talking began with a brief introduction of the issue by the expert
There were interesting conversations between 6 experts (e.g. psychologist, pedagogue, kindergarten pedagogue, health visitor, special educator, primary school teacher, parents and kindergarten pedagogues)The evenings helped pedagogues in thinking more diversely about literacy development and about parents’ role in it, and give some good ideas to work with parentsSlide12
