Here’s one option for the diagnosis of literacy which is appropriate for use by children in pre-primary and primary education. At the same time, we present the results of research aimed at diagnosing literacy, which we have implemented for children of preschool age. The diagnosis is based on an innovative concept of understanding literacy and diagnosis, which is in Slovakia so far very little-used. We built a diagnostic tool through the application of digital technologies. We consider this a most effective and entertaining possibility for the diagnosis of children.
