ECHE 210 reflection- The relationship between literacy and numeracy
From the week one to week four’s lecture and reading, I have discovered the relationship between literacy and numeracy and what they have in common. Literacy are used to support children to understand an express numeracy concept, learning numeracy can extent literacy skill. Both numeracy and literacy are the ability to apply and use them in everyday context, and both literacy and numeracy are part of cognition skill, which involves the capacity to interpret, to identify and to understand, to reasoning, and to recognise the meaning. I also learned promote effective pedagogy through book reading activity, social-interaction and play experience can foster children’s numeracy and literacy development together at same time.
The foundation for literacy and numeracy competencies are built in early childhood. Research shown children has better intellectual outcomes in school when they attend preschool or ECEC earlier in their life, therefore, it’s important to support children to develop these skill at early age (Edwards et al., 2003; Sims, 2013). Children’s intellectual/cognitive …show more content…
This approach is evidence in the research, which it shown literacy and numeracy development is greatly promoted through the frequency and the quality of interaction children have with their carer/parent/educator (Edwards et al., 2003; Sims, 2013). Research also confirms that children attending higher quality preschool or early childhood education and care (ECEC) with staff who had higher qualification and good proportion of trained teachers on the staff are show to make more progress, and have greater long lasting benefits in cognitive outcomes, including literacy and numeracy (Edwards et al., 2003; Montie et al., 2006; Sims,
