After three weeks of learning, they ran two recognition tests, one week apart, to compare the letter recognition performances of the two groups. The results showed that in the older children, the handwriting training gave rise to a better letter recognition than the typing training. The study exemplified that writing letters facilitates a child’s ability to memorize, and improves their subsequent recognition (Naka & Naoi, 1995). Children using pencil and paper to learn these skills ultimately have a greater opportunity to establish a concrete foundation of letter …show more content…

    Marie Clay Research Paper

    The Literacy Processing Theory charges that literacy learning involves continuous change over time, and that building on strengths makes it easier for children to learn. While children may start with their oral language knowledge and phonological awareness, as they read and write more, they accumulate more skills, and so their ability to deduce more complex reading and writing problems increases (Early Literacy Learning, n.d.). Marie Clay has a definite growth mindset approach to learning. She argues that children are active learners, who all have “unique strengths which teachers can build on to design appropriate instruction” (Konstantellou & Lose,…

The Preschool School Language Scale- Fifth Edition (PLS-5) and the Battelle Developmental Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-2) are both designed to address the communication development in young children. Both assessments allow for parent interview, observation and elicitation from subjects as means to administer the instrument.…

    Want To Improve Children's Writing

    Struggling with handwriting can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy in which students avoid writing, come to think of themselves as not being able to write, and fall further and further behind their peers” (Graham, 2010, p.49) This statement is very accurate for any individual who struggles with writing, they easily become frustrated with the aspect and end up giving up because it becomes too hard for them.

    Sight Word Development Essay

    The first phase of sight word development consists of the pre-alphabetic phase. Ehri (1995) stated that during this phase, "beginners remember how to read words by forming connections between selected visual attributes of words and their pronunciations or meanings and storing these associations in memory" (p. 118). Children at this phase have not advanced any alphabet knowledge. Instead, children can read sight words by memorizing the visual signals around or in the word (Gaskin, Ehri, Cress, O'Hara & Donnelly, 1997). 2.6.2 Partial Alphabetic Phase…
