Maria Montessori claimed that “writing is easier for a child than reading, because we write our own thoughts using our hand, but read others’ thoughts, written by hand of another person”. In the frame of teaching child literacy parents of preschool children completed special questionnaires. From the results of this survey, we realized that in general parents are not against literacy education on the computer, but they are worried that children will spend hours sitting in front of a computer without any control. Following experience of A.Trageton studies we decided to introduce computer to children during meetings in subgroups together with psychologist. Preliminary results with examples of work are discussed in the article.
