Abstract

This research aims to determine the importance of the pre-reading corner for language development in children at the “Yachay Wasi” Early Childhood Development Center, located in the Cruz Chita community, Chonta Punta Parish, Tena Canton, Napo Province. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques, and is descriptive, documentary, and field-based in nature. Achievement indicators were applied to children aged 12 to 36 months, revealing that most children are actively developing various language skills. This progressive advancement is a hopeful and natural sign during this early stage of growth. Although children have not yet fully consolidated their communicative abilities, they are acquiring the foundational skills necessary to express themselves, understand, and interact increasingly effectively with their environment. Recognizing that these skills are still developing allows for the appropriate guidance of pedagogical strategies, providing timely support and a stimulating environment that fosters their evolution. Consequently, a pre-reading corner was implemented with various age-appropriate materials aimed at promoting language development.
