Child Development:
Children proceed through various stages of literacy development as they move from reading readiness to fluency and high levels of comprehension. Parents and others can influence literacy development by offering opportunities for literacy experiences. Parents, teachers, siblings, and others can help support early literacy development through various ways including modeling fluency while reading, asking children questions after reading every book, reading aloud with the child on a daily basis, playing with language, and spending time in conversation. Modeling fluency while reading helps to bring excitement for the child to read while playing with language helps children listen to letter sounds and rhymes. One of the stages in literacy development is beginning literacy phase where children demonstrate minimal or no receptive or productive reading and writing skills. During this stage, a child is not confident to build his/her vocabulary and requires time to read and write. Educators can support this stage through oral story retelling, personal dictionaries, word cards, and encouraging drawing.
2 (1). Literacy development also involves reading different types of books that are classified in different genres such as predictable books, folktales, poetry, and counting books. Predictable books have patterned language, predictable storylines,...
Folktales are books with stories with moral concepts or themes brought by years of oral storytelling while poetry books contain collection of poems that introduce the child to the sounds of language ("Types of Books to Read to Young Children," n.d.). Counting books usually provide fun examples of daily items and objects that contain numbers from 1-10 and introduce language associated with numbers.

3. Understanding the differences between sounds and the fact that letters represent varying sounds is a vital part of the early reading process. Early childhood teachers can offer a great advantage to children with opportunities to explore sounds and relationships of letters. Phonological awareness refers to the ability to know that words consist of a variety of sound units while phonemic awareness is an understanding the various means that sounds function in words through dealing with only one aspect of sound. On the other hand, phonics is the first step towards reading because it is an understanding that print letters and sounds are connected.

Children and Language Language Acquisition in Children Language development in children takes a certain, predictable pattern. This pattern, also called "production," has certain important characteristics, seen in many children. First, one will note, that a baby aged 0-2 months will employ vegetative sounds, such as burps, cries and coughs. In this first stage, these sounds will be involuntary, but they nonetheless signify communication. The first real communication is anywhere from 2-3 months,
Child Care Developmental Observation of Five-Year-old Statement of Research/Observation: To observe a five-year-old female child in her natural setting to determine age appropriate developmental stages. Description of Child Being Observed: The subject is a five-year-old female: Maribel. Planning Stages: My friend has a five-year-old niece. The subject's mother was contacted and agreed to allow the observations to take place in her home and on the playground. The project was discussed and plans were made to
Child abuse no doubt hampers the victim's personality growth and development, as backed out by various publications, studies and research. During these formative years, we are delicate and breakable. Our environment and our relationships either make or break us. The aggressive, apathetic or withdrawn behavior can be traced to feelings that they hardly anyone can be trusted, or that they are inferior to others. All these are residual effects that
Development psychologists love to quote this stage among their discussion of adolescent growth. This is perhaps the most appropriate theory to apply when it comes to explaining about the impulsive behavior of adolescents. (Chapman, 2006) COGNITIVE THEORY by Jean Piaget Piaget's cognitive theory discusses how a child thinks or how her mind works from birth to adulthood. She believes that development of the child is not a smooth task, but rather,
Of course, Spears is still very young, and may face numerous future changes. However, at this time, she appears to have found some stability. Cognitive While Spears spent much of her early life in the public spotlight, it is actually difficult to assess her early cognitive development. This should come as no surprise when one looks at various theories of cognitive development. For example, Piaget discusses cognitive development, but all of
My concern was that, as has been the case for so many adults in this generation, our children have been desensitized to their spiritual selves by the loud cacophony of media. Slide 5-What I Have Discovered: Fortunately, a key discovery for me during the course of this study was the fact that children are inherently more susceptible to and in touch with their spiritual selves. For adults, it can often be
