...Outline for Personality and Emotional Development I. Introduction- Three skills that contribute to positive social development A. Skill #1-Oral Language i. Development of oral language requires not only learning words but also learning the rules of words and sentence structure. Oral language is heavily influenced by the amount of quality of talking parents do with their children. Children often play with language and experiment with words and patterns. (Slavin, R.E.) ii. It is important for children to obtain the skill of oral language because it will help them develop socially. If children are exposed to oral language at an early age they are more likely to have a larger vocabulary. The more words they know the better they can communicate to their peers, teachers, and parents. B. Skill #2 – Writing i. Writing emerges out of early scribbles and in the beginning it is randomly spread across the page. Young children are mentally unable to create letters in row. They will invent spellings by making judgments on sounds and by connecting those sounds to letters they already know. While trying write out what they hear, children will typically write letter names. (Slavin, R.E.) ii. It is important to achieve the skill of writing because it is something that children will use their whole lives. Writing is a part of the everyday life. If a child is unable to write they will be behind socially and educationally. C. Skill #3 – Reading i. The process of learning how to...

...AED/202 Reading and Writing Development Sandy Mackey June 28, 2013 Kristen Weiss Reading and Writing Development As a future educator I believe that reading and writing is the utmost import thing in a child’s education. Without these two skills a child will not be able to succeed in school. For my essay, I chose two age groups that I want to teach; middle childhood, ages six through ten, and early adolescence, ages ten through 14. The reason I chose these two developmental ages is because I believe that children enjoy learning; they are like sponges, always trying to absorb as much as possible. The reading development in middle childhood children and early adolescent childhood children seem somewhat different. Middle childhood children start by identifying letters and matching letters with individual sounds, knowing what a word is, and interpreting spaces and punctuation are the earliest building blocks for reading skills (www.education.com). Early adolescent childhood children, usually do not have an issue with reading; they can identify vocabulary words in a book and sound out the words. Children of this stage usually enjoy reading. Writing skills for both middle and early adolescent children develop in the same way as their reading skills. Middle childhood children are more focused on what they are writing, their spelling, spacing, punctuation, and coherence has improved (www.education.com). As for the early adolescent children...

...literacy mastery of one generation to the next generation. Literacy is really needed to speed up the development or the progress of a country especially in this era of globalization in which technology advance and rapid economic development requires everyone to be competent and to have good skills. Everyone should be literate and be able to read or write at least. In line of this, Hussain (2005) said: “Access to quality literacy learning opportunities and the development of literate environments are essential components of strategies for poverty reduction, equality, economic development and environmental protection, and for achieving democracy. Literacy is a fundamental human right and a prerequisite to the empowerment of the individual and development of society”. It is fully essential to social and human development in its ability to transform lives. For individuals, families, and societies alike, it is an instrument of empowerment to improve one’s health, one’s income, and one’s relationship with the world. Literacy education is one of important aspects which should be applied in order to foster an interest and latent talent in order to get that empowerment of the individual and development of society. Through informal or formal education at school, students especially can know how to read and write well. When they know how to read, they are expected to possess good knowledge by reading books or many other medias such as internet. Literacy is not obtained from school only but it...

...learn how to write and how to read in early age because I was thought that eventually children could done it easily. Well, I guess I was wrong all this time and sure I am taking for granted that I was underestimate how we can speak, read, and writing. Human needs practice to be fluently in speaking, to be understood in reading, and to be able to writing a simple note. In fact, human being learns language from he or she was an infant. An infant is first exposed to language through sounds generated by the environment and languages spoken by the adults surrounding him. As I observe my 9 months old son, he starts babble when he was 6 months old now he is more talkative event tough he can only say baba papa mama or dada. But I always replying what he says in order to make him feel respected, to teach him Bahasa and I don’t want to lose his sensitive period. Language is goes a long way in establishing a people’s identity, somehow showing people’s artistic, economic, and also religious aspects as well as set their presence. Civilization and language have causal relationship. What is civilization? “Civilization is a term used to describe a certain kind of development of a human society”. Language was discovered many years ago, in ancient Egypt writing was first discovered in the form of paintings on the walls of caves, structures and many artifacts. Paper...

...individual will lose his or her baby teeth and their permanent teeth will come through. Depending on the individual a child can begin the early stages of puberty during this time. Physical development (early adolescence) The physical development of a child in the early adolescence stages can be a drastic change for an individual. The hormones of the early adolescence are at a rapid growth and are better developed throughout the years. As the level of hormones increase this causes acne to form as well as his or her height and weight will increase. Emotional Development (middle childhood) As children develop in age each individual child will react to various situations differently. During the middle childhood stage an individual’s emotional development goes through some drastic changes. To give an example of the transitions that he or she will face is the start of school that will allow them to come into contact with new teachers and also the opportunity to build friendships with other children. During this stage a child will gain a sense of responsibility as well as the feeling of being more independent. A child has the capabilities to better control their feelings and emotions. A child during this time creates bonds that are outside of his or her family.

...Reading competence Hedge (1990) as cited by Yah Awg Nik et.al,(****)agrees that reading and exposure to language help students to improve their writing performance. The authors also agreed with the Ministry of Education of New Zealand (2004) that a student who is familiar or has a mastery of a topic, can eventually produce a proficient and effective writing output. However, there are students who are poor in reading which results to failure in correcting and monitoring their writing output. The study made by Yah Awg Nik et.al (****) concludes that extensive exposure to English Language has enhanced the writing performance after they had given different instruments and being assessed. This is in accordance with Hedge’s (1990) argument that exposure and reading extensively are beneficial to effective writing skills. They also added that writing maybe difficult and demanding but frequent exposure in reading and writing will help improve writing performance. Intelligence Farris in Garnace (2006) admits that thinking and language are related to each other and their development occurs at the same time. Learners that have proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing can deal effectively with the tasks that have something to do with the thinking strategies. Motivation Factors The studies of Bandura, (1986); Ellis, Lenz, & Sabornie, (1987); Paris & Winograd, (1990); Wong, (1994) asserts that students with writing problems frequently are unmotivated because...

...John Overbeck who is a writer and a teacher (one that went in-depth in topics such as history especially for me), had commenced and progressed my literacy development. I can vividly recall waking up early every morning, getting out of bed and running downstairs to start my day excited about broadening my horizon of knowledge. Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, as usual, I would be awake at six A.M. waiting to start my school day. These days were special. At 8:00 A.M., on the dot, I would await for John Overbeck. While I enjoyed homeschooling from age 10-13, it became difficult for me not knowing what I was missing out on in a conventional brick and mortar school and it was educationally challenging (a good thing). Additionally, frustrated by the stereotypical “you must be religious,” “you are in idiot” that I would persistently receive, it motivated me to try to disprove these stereotypical notions, not give up, and to excel even when I was told I could not because I was not in the public sector of education. During this time, my brother who is two and a half years older than I am was also homeschooled. While he was homeschooled because of bullying in middle school, I wanted to be homeschooled because middle school would not have given me the same educational challenges. My brother has always exceled in the realms of reading and science, which of course means that I have always struggled in both,...

...childhood group consisting of children from age two through six and the next is the middle childhood ages six through ten. In these two groups, you will see several characteristics or developments from physical, emotional, cognitive, intellectual, language, social, reading, writing, and interpersonal. I will begin with the physical development of both groups. This is where you will notice their motor skills. There are two different motor skills, gross and fine. Gross motor skills involve the larger muscles including the arms and legs. Actions requiring gross motor skills include walking, running, balance, and coordination. When evaluating gross motor skills, the factors that experts look at include strength, muscle tone, movement quality, and the range of movement and the other is fine more skills, which involve the smaller muscles in the fingers, toes, eyes and other areas. The actions that require fine motor skills tend to be more intricate, such as drawing, writing, grasping objects, throwing, and catching (Cherry, 2011). Early Childhood ages 2-6 Physical Development By the time, they reach two years old their fine and gross motor skills are developing even more. With the gross motor skills, they can balance themselves, run, jump, hop, and dance. Their fine motor skills include writing, drawing, and possibly tying shoelaces. Both gross and fine motor skills develop and...

...interacts with books and when reading and writing, even though they could not read or write in the usual sense of way. Emergent literacy is a process that takes place over the timeframe from birth until a child can read and write in what we think to be a standard sense. The key to term literacy is the consistency of all parts of language: speaking, listening, reading, writing, and viewing. Some people believe that, up until a child starts school he/she will first learn to read and then learn to write. The process to learning to read and write has to start early in a child's life. Right away they have contact with different types of communication from the start. Most children can identify basic signs and logos by the age of 2 or 3. From there they will begin to experiment with written forms of communicating long before they can read by scribbling. Reading and writing develop at the same time in young children who are unified or consistent. Children love to make marks on paper. As they do this, they begin to realize that the symbols on pages are letters that form words. This will help with the attempt to put their thoughts down on paper as well. The development of writing skills consists of stages that children go through. Parents can promote early literacy development for infants by presenting cloth or cardboard books with bright pictures, reading books that have rhyming words, surrounding children with fiction and nonfiction books, magazines or games, reading simple stories with one...

...Extensive Reading: Why? and How? Timothy Bell timothy [at] hsc.kuniv.edu.kw Kuwait University ------------------------------------------------- Abstract An extensive reading program was established for elementary level language learners at the British Council Language Center in Sanaa, Yemen. Research evidence for the use of such programs in EFL/ESL contexts is presented, emphasizing the benefits of this type of input for students' English language learning and skills development. Practical advice is then offered to teachers worldwide on ways to encourage learners to engage in a focused and motivating reading program with the potential to lead students along a path to independence and resourcefulness in their reading and language learning. ------------------------------------------------- Introduction: The Reading Program An extensive reading program was established at the British Council Language Center in Sanaa, Yemen. An elementary level class of government employees (age range 17-42) was exposed to a regime of graded readers, which was integrated into normal classroom teaching. Students followed a class reader, had access to a class library of graded readers, and had classes in the British Council library, which gave them access to a collection of 2000 titles. Questionnaires were used to examine students' reading interests, habits and attitudes, both prior to, and following the program. The class library contained 141 titles in the published readers of some major publishers...

...Running head: Language and Literacy Development Language Abilities and Deficiencies on Literacy Development SheQuita Hogan Grand Canyon University: ECH 515 March 14, 2012 Language and literacy are skills that work together. Children development language skills and a young age and they develop at different ages and stages. They are constantly observing and practicing communication and oral language. What they learn, hear, and see has an effect on their literacy skills. Children build oral language knowledge and they practice as they learn to read and write. They develop understanding about reading through writing and they extent through they writing through reading. Language, reading, and writing skills develop at the same time and are intimately linked. Early literacy development is a continuous developmental process that begins in the first years of life. Early literacy skills develop in real life settings through positive interactions with literacy materials and other people Children who have difficult with early speech communication skills are at risk of having problems in the future. Therefore, the development of oral language has in effect on the development of emergent reader literacy skills. Oral language is a key aspect of the future literacy of children, as it goes a far way toward promoting many of the skills contained in reading writing, and language arts. Oral language is also a method through which children may learn incidental vocabulary. Being exposed...
