The valences of theatrical game in view of the development of the literary-artistic reception competence of preschool children

The article reflects the importance of theatrical play in the development of preschoolers’ literary-artistic reception skills. The theatrical game facilitates the adequate reception of the literary text and contributes to the development of knowledge of artistic images by the preschooler, on the basis of which the understanding of the literary work takes place. By engaging in theater games, children learn the content of the literary work more easily. Thus occurs: artistic knowledge that includes phenomena of the supersensible; the discovery of the emotional-affective nature of reception, the way of reflecting the external and internal reality in the literary work; understanding the subject-object relationship present in the literary work that contributes to the elaboration of the epistemology of literary-artistic reception; literary communication and identification with the character; the author’s collaboration with the receiver who creates the theatrical play; analysis of the literary work.
