Produktbeschreibung

This study has mapped the literacy behaviours which pre-schoolers exhibit in selected households of Lusaka. It tried to answer the question of what role parents played in facilitating their children s literacy development from emergent to conventional readers and writers and what print exist in these pre-schoolers homes and surrounding environments. The study brought out literacy behaviours in the following categories: arithmetic was mostly practiced; television and radio were seen to have an influence on the pre-schoolers acquisition of oral language and emergent literacy through songs and advertisements; singing, which is imbedded with a lot of emergent literacy, was enjoyed by most of the children; singing the English alphabet song was prominent. The study also found out that children involved themselves in a lot of literacy related games such as Ciyato and draft.
