Question

1.1 Learning to read and write are both social and cognitive endeavours. Children learn
from parents, siblings, teachers and their peers. They copy what they see from these
knowledgeable others and also make their own sense of the written words. Allow children to
scribble around and read their scribbles to you.
Based on the above excerpt, answer the following questions:

1.1a. Justify why reading is regarded as essential for children’s social and
cognitive development.


By Strickland et al. (2004):

Foundation for Literacy:
Reading is a cornerstone of literacy, which begins early in life and is a continuous process.
Children's curiosity about the print around them sparks a desire to understand and interpret
written words. This ongoing engagement with print is crucial for developing literacy skills that
form the basis for further learning and communication.

Language Development:
Literacy development is closely linked with oral language skills. As children hear and see
words, they begin to associate sounds with letters and shapes, which enhances their
understanding of language. This connection between spoken and written language is
essential for cognitive development, helping children to process and understand information
more effectively.

Social Interaction and Learning:
Reading and writing are both social and cognitive activities. Children learn by observing and
interacting with parents, siblings, teachers, and peers. This social learning process helps
children develop cognitive skills, as they imitate what they see and make sense of written
words in their unique way. Encouraging children to engage with print in their environment
supports their cognitive growth.

Developmental Process:
Reading is part of a developmental process that varies from child to child. As children
progress at their own pace, their interest in print may emerge at different stages. Recognizing
