LITERACY
◼From birth until the beginning of formal education
(age 5 or 6) children growing up in literature
cultures accumulate knowledge about letters,
words, and books. In theories of reading
development, the period of time before children go
to school is usually referred to as the EMERGENT
LITERACY PERIOD.
* VAN KLEECK AND SCHUELE DISCUSSED 3
SPECIFIC AREAS OF LITERACY SOCIALIZATION
1.Literacy Artifacts
2.Literacy Event
3.Literacy Experiences
* ADAMS, show evidence that letter
recognition accuracy & speed were
critical determinants to reading
proficiency.
>The important role of
phonological awareness plays in
reading has led to an interest in
how children become aware that
words consists of discrete
sounds.
*LOGOGRAPHIC STAGE
• To mark the end of the emergent
literacy period and a transition to a
phenomic or alphabetic stage of
reading.
* ORTHOGRAPHIC STAGE
• Is characterized by the use of letter
sequences and spelling patterns to
recognize word visually without
phonological conversion.
* THE SELF TEACHING HYPOTHESIS
• Caused by damage
to one or more of the
language areas of the
brain.
HOW IS APHASIA DIAGNOSED?
◼Physician typically performs tests that
require the individual to follow
commands, answer questions, name
objects and converse.
◼Speech Language Pathologist.
* HOW IS APHASIA TREATED?
◼Spontaneous recovery – occurs following a transient
ischemic attack (TIA).
◼Partial spontaneous recovery – some language abilities
return over a period of a few days to a month after thr
brain injury.
◼Aphasia Therapy – strives to improve an individual’s
ability to communicate by helping the person to use
remaining abilities.
* DYLEXIA AS A DEVELOPMENTAL
LAGUAGE DISORDER
> This disorder, which is often genetically
transmitted, is generally persists throughout the
life span.
* CHARACTERISTICS OF MOST
DYSLEXICS
◼Delayed spoken language
◼Errors in letter naming
◼Difficulty in learning and remembering
printed words
◼Reversal or orientation of letters in words
when read or write.
◼Repeated spelling errors
◼Cramped or illegible handwriting
◼Difficulty in finding the “right” word
when speaking
◼Reduced reading or writing
◼Similar problems aming relatives.
* WHAT CAUSES DYLEXIA?
◼It is caused by
unusual pattern of
cerebral dominance
and that the
difference is
neurological rather
than psychological.
* HELPING THE CHILD WITH A
LEARNING DISABILITY
◼Parents are the child’s greatest resource
and most important advocate.
