LITERACIES2LiteraciesTheory refers to a notion that references the reality for purposes of explaining a particularsituation. There are many methods that play a significant role in the way individuals perceive literacy. These theories of literacy include Family Literacy Theory, Maturation Theory, Emergent Literacy Theory, Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development among others such as Stage Models of Reading and Theory of Literacy Development (Godwin, Herb, Ricketts & Wymer, 2013). Notes for slide 3The Family Literacy Theory focuses on several ideas that are distributed by researchers. The primary purpose of this approach is that it concentrates on the design, evaluation and implementation of certain aspects that contribute to the development of literacy among members of a family (Lilly & Green, 2004). The main purpose of this theory is to emphasize on the significance of student achievement through family involvement. Further, the approach focuses on the relationship between the parents and teachers in share information on literacy both in school and home. It also focuses on creating awareness to the parents about learning environment that contributes to the success of the student (Li, 2010). Notes for slide 3Maturation Theory suggests that parents and teachers do not necessarily have to force children into reading and emphasize that the will do so whenever they are ready. It is only when the children are old enough to take instruction is when they can be taught how to read.
LITERACIES3Notes for slide 4Emergent Literacy theory tends to suggest that the knowledge that children acquire before they are enrolled in school plays a significant role in helping the children to learn how to read and write. Scholars say that this theory begins to apply immediately after a child is born.Notes for slide 4 Piaget’s theory of Cognitive Development implies that there are distinct stages which are responsible for particular behavior in a child. These activities play a crucial role in helping the teachers to understand the needs of an individual child. Further, the theory insinuates that these activities are classified under four stages namely; sensorimotor stage, Preoperational stage, concrete operational and formal operational.Notes for slide 5According to Stages Model of Reading, scholars believe that children’s ability to read is focused on keyword identification which then helps them to develop strategies to make reading easy. The word identification stage comprises of four stages which include; Pre-Alphabetic Stage, Partial Alphabetic Stage, Full Alphabetic Stage and Consolidated Alphabetic Stage (Wang, 2017). Notes for slide 5Lastly, the theory of Literacy Development suggests that the process of reading falls under natural development that is facilitated by Oral language skills. This theory has four elements that create meaning in the learning process. The four elements include Observation, Collaboration, Practice and Performance.
