Welcome to the web pages of the newly established journal of the Faculty of Education of Charles University.
The Literacy, Preliteracy and Education Journal is a peer-reviewed journal which specializes in the field of literacy and education in their broadest terms. Its goal is to mediate new knowledge in the field and thus to provide impulses that will stimulate further development in the field, and to strengthen the link between research and praxis. The Journal deals with reading, mathematical, informational and science literacy and pre-literacy and with related topics. It also serves as a basis for the development of educational psychology, primary pedagogy and departmental didactics, and special and social pedagogy as research subjects.
The Journal is published three times a year (in April, August and December); the two main languages of the journal are Czech and Slovak. One English issue of the Journal is published each year.
Current Issue

The thematic issue focused on the areas of emergent literacy and the development of reading skills in the context of early and primary education. Contributions addressing both theoretical foundations and research findings, as well as practical experiences from educational practice aimed at supporting children’s reading and developing pre-reading and reading competences, were welcomed. The issue was open to all authors engaged in the field of educational literacies and was linked to the professional conference Early Reading: I Read and Become a Reader, which took place on 25 September 2024 at the Faculty of Education, Charles University. Authors who had presented at the conference were warmly invited to elaborate on their contributions in the form of scholarly articles.
