“…In fact, various findings regarding to the early childhood literacy practices are still experiencing various problems, namely children have learning difficulty to read when they begin their elementary school with inadequate vocabulary (Cetin et al, 2018;Clemens et al, 2016).

“…Developmental deficiency in early childhood cannot be easily compensated in later years and its cost is extremely high (World Bank, 2009). Early intervention in early education years can lead a powerful beginning for education as reversing negative cases (Çelenk, 2008;Cetin, Gulhan, & Katranci, 2018). In a study, Whitehead (2016) states that the children who have attended preschool have better literacy acquisitions than the children who have not.…”

The purpose of this study is to reveal the views and recommendations of the preschool and primary school teachers on the literacy preparation in Turkish preschool education. The study is designed as phenomenological research. The participants of the study are 12 preschool and 9 primary school teachers who have been teaching actively in the western part of Turkey. The qualitative data was collected through face-to-face interviews and analyzed through content analysis. The findings of the study show that preschool teachers have some confusion on literacy preparation and readiness. While preschool and primary school teachers are of the same opinion about the need for literacy preparation in preschool education, they have different opinions about the literacy preparation activities conducted in preschool education. While preschool teachers think that they get preschoolers ready for literacy, primary school teachers think that first graders in their classes do not come literately ready from preschool education. Teachers participated in the study; think that the lack of collaboration among preschool and primary school teachers, some deficiencies in preschool education curriculum and in the education system, and the preschool teachers’ imperfect knowledge in the literacy readiness are the possible reasons of inadequacy of readiness for literacy in preschool education. They recommend systematic collaboration among teachers, review of preschool education curriculum and providing professional support for preschool teachers to support literacy readiness in preschool education.

Children's literacy skills are not affected by age; it is affected by exposure to literacy (Cetin et al, 2018). Therefore, it is important to expose children with literacy materials since the early ages.…”
