It is impossible for the young child to voice concepts that are totally unknown
to them.
Children learn about the world first, then map language onto their prior
experience.

Example of Cognitive Theory

An infant experiences the house cat; they know that it meows, is furry, purrs,
eats from a bowl in the kitchen
hence develops the concept of cat first then learns to map the word kitty
onto that concept
INTERACTIONIST THEORY
posits that children acquire language through social interaction, with
older children or adults in particular
FUNCTIONALIST THEORY
functionalists assume that children do not have any innate
knowledge of grammar [] it assumes that children are not born
with grammatical categories such as verb and noun but must acquire
them by generalising across the adult speech that they hear,
therefore most functionalist approaches are input based
focuses on the social constructions and experiences children go
through while growing up
BEHAVIORIST THEORY
believes that infants learn oral language from other human role
modelsthrough a process involving imitation, rewards, and practice.
Human role models in an infantsenvironment provide the stimuli and
rewards, (Cooter & Reutzel, 2004)

STORY COLLAGE
One way to share our stories is to make art representing different
"pages" or chapters of our stories on paper.
Using the medium of collage, our stories can come out more quickly,
sometimes, than writing words.
Bright papers and specific shapes made out of paper or fabric and
colors that represent joy, success, new life in one's culture and life are
used for some "pages."
Darker papers and fabrics and other shapes are used to create the
darker parts of our stories. Magazine pictures can be used to
represent an entire story in our lives.
100.Which cueing system is used in
pronouncing words?
A. Semantic
B. Pragmatic
C. Syntactic
D. Phonological
The Four Cueing Systems

Semantic Graphophonic

Syntactic Pragmatic
The Four Cueing Systems
Readers use all four cueing systems to make sense of what they are
reading
Cueing systems work together to help the reader comprehend text
Depending on the text, the reader may rely more heavily on one
cueing system than another.
Semantic Cueing System
The semantic cueing system involves using clues in the
text to determine the meaning of an unknown word.
Within word clues, such as prefixes or suffixes
Other words in the sentence
Other words in the paragraph or whole text
Picture or graphic clues
Graphophonic Cueing System
The graphophonic cueing system helps readers to
sound out unknown words.
If the word is already in the readers oral vocabulary, she
can sound out the word and attach meaning to it.
If the word is not in the readers oral vocabulary, she may
be able to sound out the word but not know the meaning.
Syntactic Cueing System
The syntactic cueing system gives the reader clues
from the sentence structure.
We can predict what type of word will come next in a
sentence from our knowledge of the English sentence
structure. Ex.
The boy rode the ______ bike. (Based on our knowledge of
English, we know that an adjective must go in the blank. This is
a syntactic clue.)
Pragmatic Cueing System
Based on the readers background and the context of the
reading, the reader has certain expectations for the text.
For example, you expect text in this class to be related to reading.
When background knowledge is lacking on the topic, this cueing
system may be weak for that text.
When the readers cultural background is different from the
authors, he may have trouble using this cueing system because
expectations are different.
Using the Cueing Systems Together
Effective readers use all the cueing systems together to
construct meaning from text. Ex.
Example: The boy climbed the __________.
Semantic Cue: It has to be something you can climb.
Pragmatic Cue: There are only certain things we climbladders, trees,
mountains
Syntactic Cue: If there is only one word that goes in the blank, it has to be a
noun, a thing
Graphophonic Cue: There are no graphophonic cues but if I told you the
word began with a t, that would narrow the possibilities down even more.

Language Experience Approach
The language experience approach (LEA) is a
whole language approach that promotes reading and writing
through the use of personal experiences and oral language.
rationale behind LEA is that materials with familiar
vocabulary and ideas are more meaningful and accessible
than texts found in pre-prepared books
 The following sections describe the steps of an Language Experience Approach lesson.
STEP #1: A Shared Experience
The LEA process begins with something the class does together, such as a field trip, an
experiment, or some other hands-on activity. If this is not possible, a sequence of
pictures (that tell a story) can be used, as can a student describing a sequence of events
from real life.
STEP #2: Creating the Text
Next, the teacher and students, as a group, verbally recreate the shared experience.
Students take turns volunteering information, as in a large-group discussion. The teacher
transcribes the students words on the board in an organized way to create the text.
STEP #3: Read & Revise
The class reads the story aloud and discusses it. The teacher asks if the students want to
make any corrections or additions to the story. Then she marks the changes t4hey
suggest and makes further suggestions, if needed.
STEP #4: Read and Reread
The final story can be read in a choral or echo style, or both. Students can also read in
small groups or pairs, and then individually.
STEP #5: Extension
This text can be used for a variety of literacy activities like illustrations or creating
comprehension questions.
