The paper offers for consideration ways of taking into account Slovene folklore in the teaching process in primary school – in years 1 to 4, or at a higher level in more profiled school subjects. Folk tales from the collection Glasovi would be very appropriate here, as these books now cover half of Slovenia (in alphabetical order): Bela Krajina, Bohinj, Brkini and Slovene Čičarija, a large part of Dolenjska, the Drava Valley and Kozjak, upper Gorenjska, Haloze, Istra, the Jezersko area, the Ko-
čevje area and the area beside the upper Kolpa (Kostelsko), Koroška, Slovene Carinthia in Austria, the Kras, the Ljubljana marshlands, Notranjska, Pivka, the Pohorje, part of the Poljane Valley, Prekmurje, Porabje, Tolmin and areas west of it, and the Trnovo plateau. Urban environments are represented by the books for Idrija and Ljubljana. In this instance, however, material is drawn from the book Once There Was a Lake (2005). The author is most familiar with the area represented in these collected folk tales and should thus be better able, while acknowledging her lack of expertise in this field, to present her ideas on their didactic use.
