SAŽETAK
Proces opismenjavanja dug je i specifičan, a njegovi začeci temelje se u ranoj dječjoj dobi na kauzalitetu brojnih kognitivnih sposobnosti i vještina, uz razvijen govor i jezik kao najspecifičnijih ljudskih djelatnosti, uz posredovano djelovanje obitelji, okoline, učenja i podučavanja. Dječji vrtić ima i odgojnu i obrazovnu ulogu u razvijanju temeljnih funkcija, te njihovoj transformaciji u vještine i sposobnosti potrebne ponajprije za početno opismenjavanje. Društvena zadaća vrtića je osvješćivanje važnosti vještina čitanja i pisanja u stjecanju znanja i profesionalnih kompetencija te poticanja i njegovanja kulture čitanja sa naglaskom na implikacije tih vještina na proces učenja kao cjeloživotne djelatnosti.
