- Child language acquisition
- Writing
- Environmental print
- When children's writing is influenced by print they see e.g. road signs, labels, adverts, stories.
- Emergent writing
- When a child begins to show writing-like behaviour
- The phonics approach
- Sounding out words
- The 'look and say' approach
- Recognising whole words by sight
- Psycholinguistics approach
- The child has to work out the meaning of a word rather than being told
- Barclay's 7 stages of development
- 1. Scribbling Kids make random marks on the page
- 2. Mock handwriting Kids draw shapes. Letter like forms appear.
- 3. Mock letters - kids produce random letters but theres no awareness of matching sounds with symbols
- 4. Conventional letters - Kids start matching sounds with symbols. Start using initial consonants to represent words.
- 5. Invented spelling - Most words are spelt phonetically
- 6.Appropriate spelling - Sentences become more complex
- 7. Correct spelling
- Gentry's 5 spelling stages
- 1. Precommunicative - may use invented symbols. Don't know how letters represent sounds.
- 2. Semi-phonetic - Begin to learn the correspondence between phonemes and graphemes. Often abbreviate words.
- 3. Phonetic - Spelling mirrors sound.
- 4. Transitional - Follows basic accepted patterns of English spelling.
- 5. Correct - Basic knowledge of spelling system.
- Kroll's 4 stages of writing development
- 1. Preparatory stage - Children develop motor skills needed for writing.
- 2. Consolidation stage - Children write how they speak. They use short declarative statements.
- 3. Differentiation stage - Use more complex grammar and sentence structures. Punctuation becomes more accurate,
- 4. Integration stage - Writing becomes more accurate with a wider vocab and more accurate spelling.
- Rothery's categories
- Observation/comment - 'One day my mum bought me a book and I was happy'
- Observation - 'I bought a dog'
- Recount - usually chronologically organised
- Report - The bat is a nocturnal animal and it lives in the dark'
- Narrative - 'Once there was a cat named Whiskers'
- Environmental print
- Speech
- Theories
- Behaviourist (Skinner) - Children start as a blank slate and learn to imitate language through positive reinforcement
- Nativist (Chomsky) - Children have an inbuilt LAD and are pre-programmed with the underlying rules of grammar.
- Poverty of stimulus - The quality of language children hear from parents isn't high enough to just copy it
- Cognitive (Piaget & Vygotsky) - Piaget says children need to understand a concept before they can use the language referring to it.
- Interactionist (Bruner) - Interaction is very important in developing language. Bruner refers to LASS (Language Acquisition Support System)
- Stages of development
- Holographic stage (one word stage)
- Two word stage
- Telegraphic stage (three of more words)
- Halliday's functions
- Instrumental - to get something
- Regulatory - to make requests or give orders
- Interactional - to relate to others
- Personal - to express feelings and views
- Heuristic - Ask questions
- Imaginative - to tell stories, jokes etc
- Representational - to convey information
- Theories
- Writing
