The aim with this study is to examine how early literacy can be supported in different conversations between a preschool teacher and children. Theory and research on children's early literacy underline that children improve their language skills when they engage in conversations with adults. A preschool teacher must manage to support children with different language and conversation experiences. The preschool teacher in this study was video-observed in language interactions with different children in many types of activities. He managed to adapt his support to the children in accordance with their language experiences.
