FAMILIARIZING PRESCHOOL CHILDREN WITH THE VIETNAMESE ALPHABET FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LINGUISTICS

Abstract

Preparing children for school is one of the key duties of early childhood education that provides fundamental premises to help children get ready for learning at primary school. However, in reality, there still remain many shortcomings in the implementation of the above-mentioned duty, which includes preparation for learning to read and to write.In this paper, from the perspective of linguistics combined with the view of interconnection with the first grade Vietnamese subject curriculum, we analyse the inappropriate aspectsin the activity of familiarizing children with the Vietnamese alphabet in early childhood education, thereby proposing some suggestions to make this activity operate scientifically and effectively in order to meet the urgent demands of the educational reality.
