Over 16,000 people belong to the Roma national minority in the Republic of Croatia. Given the fact that they do not have their own standardised language and orthography, Roma children1 attend regular schools and regular curriculum in the Croatian language. This also implies the acquisition of reading and writing prerequisites prior to enrolment into first grade. The aim of this paper is to examine the level of acquisition of reading and writing prerequisites in Roma children and to determine whether Roma children (N = 56, 62.5% of boys, M = 6 years, 8 months, SD = 0.46) differ from children whose first language is Croatian (N = 55, 50.9% of boys; M = 6 years, 8 months, SD = 0.4) in the development of individual components of reading and writing prerequisites. Testing was performed through selected tasks from the Test for the assessment of reading and writing prerequisites (PredČip test, Kuvač Kraljević & Lenček, 2012). The results were as expected and indicate that Roma children deviate from regular achievement on most of the examined variables. In comparison to the control group of participants, Roma children demonstrated significantly lower results on almost all tested variables, apart from syllable and phonemic blending. The obtained results are an indicator of insufficient acquisition of certain components of reading and writing prerequisites in the Croatian language and insufficiently developed visualperceptual abilities. Considering that reading and writing prerequisites are the important precondition for fluent reading Valentina Martan, Ivana Srebačić: Spremnost za ovladavanje vještinama čitanja i pisanja na hrvatskome jeziku kod djece romske nacionalne... 84 Budući da su predvještine čitanja i pisanja važan preduvjet za usvajanje tečnoga čitanja i pisanja, kao i akademskih postignuća, vidljivo je da djeca Romi nisu spremna za školu i već u samome početku ne mogu održati korak sa svojim vršnjacima. Samim time potrebno je sustavno mijenjati sustav predškolskoga i školskoga odgoja i obrazovanja kada je u pitanju ova posebno ranjiva skupina djece. Ključne riječi: predvještine čitanja i pisanja, Romi, školski obveznici, spremnost za školu

Spremnost za ovladavanje vještinama čitanja i pisanja na hrvatskome jeziku kod djece romske nacionalne manjine ‒ jednak početak za sve?
