Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: False

Answer to Question 2

Yes, the language-experience approach (LEA), which uses the childs own language to provide experience in beginning reading and writing, is useful for preschoolers. The approach involves all of the children, is unpressured, allows for individual differences, and is an enjoyable activity for children. It also develops a positive sense of self-esteem for children as they begin to see themselves as authors. The stories provide another book that children can use in their attempts at reading and retelling of stories. These all encourage language development and literacy.
