“…The aim of this study was to increase the interaction between educators and books by discussing picture storybooks used in picture story reading activities carried out by preschool educators using the literature circle method. Thus, the contribution of the literature circle method to educators' effectiveness in the reading process was examined by examining the literature on the subject, the introduction of the literature circle method (Avcı et al, 2010), the contribution of the literature circle method to the reading and comprehension process of secondary school students (Balantekin and Pilav, 2017;Sarı et al, 2017;Hatun and Kurtlu, 2019;Mete, 2020), the roles of educator candidates in the literature circle method (Çermik et al, 2019;Doğan et al, 2019;Özbay & Kaldirim, 2015;Yıldırım et al, 2019). However, no study was identified that directly examined the reading process of educators in the preschool period using the literature circle method.…”
