Summary/Abstract: Early literacy studies put varying emphasis on the contribution of different components – such as phonological awareness, letter recognition, print concept, spoken language skills, vocabulary knowledge, narrative ability, handwriting, and other predictors – to subsequent achievements in reading and writing as well as overall academic development. In Croatia, there is a lack of systematic research that would longitudinally track the development of these literacy predictor skills and abilities and a scarcity of clear educational preschool curricula that would support these skills crucial for later formal literacy.
