Literacy development Flashcards
When does literacy develop?
3-4 years of age
after spoken language
not all humans acquire the ability to read or write or acquire it easily (e.g. dyslexia)
development is when children match spoken language to written language and read
6 months- hold books, turn pages, listen to stories
24-26 months- recite passages from stories - memorising aspects of stories important to developing literacy
3-4 years-able to follow words with fingers- need guidance and support at the beginning
Stage model- 1st stage
THRIF AND EHRI
1st stage- logographic stage-3-4 years- visual cues are the primary method they use to ‘read’ for example a child might be able to see a logo and say it says Lego- not actually reading they are recognising the visual ques. However children will make judgements wrong e.g. misread the word smaller as yellow due tot he double L group (Seymour and elder)- they also expect the size of the word to be related to the size of the object e.g. expect bus to be a longer word than a car.
stage model- 2nd stage
Alphabetic stage- 5+ years
associations between written methods and sounds that they know- phoneme graphene correspondents
reliant on knowledge of phonology
however this strategy willl not help with all words such as caught
stage model -3rd stage
orthographic stage- 8+years
understand number 8 is the same as eight
understand they can add s and that makes a plural e.g. understand dog and dogs
literacy development- PIAGET
sensori-motor stage birht-2- no/limited language skills. sensory exploration of the world
preoperational stage 2-7/8- rapid language development/ children begin to categorise with words
concrete operational 7/9-11/12- concrete objects to think about abstract concepts- doing things like drawing pie charts or venn diagrams
Formal oerational-11/12-adulthood- use language in a more abstract way making inferences and summarise e.g. can read a book and summarise the key pot and talk about magical things that are not apart of our reality
HOLDAWAY theory
believed learning to read is a natural development and not something
4 key components- observation(observe others and learn from that) collaboration( interact with others to encourage and support) practice(opportunity to self evaluate and increase skills independently) and performance(share reading skills to those who will support them)
explain the relationship between spoken and written language
it is bi directional- we need spoken language to start to read and write then once we developed literacy skills this can aid our spoken language ability.
Metalinguistic development- ability to think and talk about language
