TEACHING GRAMMAR IN PRESCHOOL AND PRIMARY EDUCATION

Teaching grammar in preschool and primary education plays a crucial role in building a strong foundation for language development. At an early age, children acquire language naturally through interaction, play, and meaningful communication rather than through formal rules. This study explores effective strategies for teaching grammar to young learners in an engaging and developmentally appropriate way. The research is based on qualitative observations and classroom practices in early education settings. The findings show that integrating grammar instruction into games, songs, stories, and daily communication significantly improves children's understanding and use of language structures. It is concluded that grammar teaching at early stages should focus on implicit learning rather than explicit rule memorization.
