Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: verbal ability (including large vocabulary, ability to retell a story coherently, letter-sound knowledge, phonological and morphological awareness); physical factors (such as brain structure, genes); cognitive factors (both general and language-specific cognitive abilities); emotional factors (such as secure attachment, pleasant interactions during parent-child storybook reading); social factors (such as strong social skills especially cooperation, joint storybook reading/shared reading, use of literacy during play)

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Student response will vary, but hopefully will include some of the following: At about age three, childrens writing still may not include real letters, but it begins to look like letters and is written in left-to-right lines. Children believe they are writing, but no one else can read it. In kindergarten, most children learn how to form letters correctly and to pair letters with sounds. They begin to write with real letters, using invented phonetic spellings and pictures. As children begin to read in 1st grade, emergent literacy is replaced by conventional literacy. A primary task of 1st grade is learning to read and write. The task shifts around 4th grade to using reading and writing to learn other things. At first, children are asked to write mostly personal stories in order to practice writing, but by the end of elementary school, children are asked to write expository text, like reports, to show what they know. Children become better spellers across elementary school. At first, they leave out the internal phonemes of words. After 4th grade, they become more skilled at conventional spelling. Adolescents become able to use domain-specific vocabulary to read and write in domains like science, history, or art. Quality of writing increases during adolescence in other ways as well Adolescents can produce an organized, persuasive paper. Essays and sentences are longer. Adverb connectors and abstract nouns are used more.

Did you know?

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Did you know?

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

Did you know?

Adolescents often feel clumsy during puberty because during this time of development, their hands and feet grow faster than their arms and legs do. The body is therefore out of proportion. One out of five adolescents actually experiences growing pains during this period.

Did you know?

For high blood pressure (hypertension), a new class of drug, called a vasopeptidase blocker (inhibitor), has been developed. It decreases blood pressure by simultaneously dilating the peripheral arteries and increasing the body's loss of salt.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
