Abstract
Govor je temelj ljudske komunikacije i značajan je za cjelokupan razvoj djeteta. Govor se može shvatiti i kao vještina neophodna za svladavanje vještinai sposobnosti čitanja i pisanja (Pavličević-Franić, 2005). U procesu svladavanja jezičnih djelatnosti govorenja, slušanja i čitanja slikovnica je nezaobilazni medij u odrastanju djeteta, njegova prva knjiga i njegova igračka. U ovom radu govori se o određenju pojma slikovnice, utjecaju, ulozi i funkciji slikovnice u djetetovu razvoju. Na tržištu je obilje knjiga za djecu i slikovnica, a roditelji su često u nedoumici što od toga izabrati. Kvalitetna slikovnica je uvijek najbolji izbor, stoga se u radu govori i o elementima kvalitetne slikovnice. S obzirom da dijaloško čitanje utječe na razvoj djetetova govora u radu je objašnjeno koliko je bitno čitati djeci i koji su najbolji načini. Interakcija roditelja s djetetom prilikom čitanja slikovnica i priča je značajna jer dijete tada postaje ravnopravan partner u čitanju, što znači da u bilo kojem trenutku može izreći svoje misli i razmišljanja o pročitanome te postaviti pitanja koja ga zanimaju u vezi s pročitanom pričom. Takvo zajedničko, poticajno čitanje slikovnica nazivamo dijaloško čitanje u kojem se izmjenjuju faze čitanja i faze razgovora o pročitanom tekstu i slikama u slikovnici. Uloga slikovnice u razvoju dječjeg govora predškolske dobi je poticanje govornih vještina, obogaćivanje fonda riječi, učenje novih činjenica i pojmova. Na osnovi provedene aktivnosti može se zaljučiti da slikovnica znatno utječe na govorni razvoj djece.Speech is the foundation of human communication and is significant for the entire development of a child. Speech may also be considered as the skill necessary for accomplishing reading and writing abilities (Pavličević-Franić, 2005). In the process of acquiring language activities in the area of speaking, listening and reading, the picture book is the unavoidable media in the process of growing up, child’s first book and the most important toy. The aim of this paper is to define the concept of the picture book, its function, role and the influence on the development of a child. Nowadays, plenty of books for children are available on the market thus parents are often confused what to choose.The best choice is always a picture book of good quality, therefore, the elements of quality picture books is one of the elaborated topics in this paper. Considering the fact that dialogic reading affects the process of child’s speech development, the importance of reading to children as well as the most suitable methods for reading are emphasized. Interaction between parents and children during the reading of picture books and stories is very important because it is the moment when children become equal partners in the process of reading. This means that children become aware of the fact that they are able to express their thoughts as well as to ask any type of questions concerning the story being read. Such common and inspirational type of reading picture books is called dialogic reading which consists of constant interchange between the phases of reading and communication phases about the content of picture books. The function of picture books in the process of preschool-aged children’ speech development is encouraging speakingskills, enriching the word fund and learning new facts and concepts. Based on the activity conducted, it can be concluded that picture book significantly affects the child’s speech development
