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:
Justify why reading is regarded as essential for children’s social and cognitive development.
Demonstrate your understanding of why reading and writing are regarded as inseparable
components of literacy development.

strategy.
Introduction
Literacy is the foundation upon which a child's academic and personal growth is built. From the
earliest stages of life, the ability to read and write is fundamental to the development of
communication, critical thinking, and social skills. Reading, in particular, plays a crucial role in
shaping children's cognitive processes and social interactions. It is not merely a skill to be acquired
but a powerful tool that unlocks the doors to knowledge, imagination, and empathy. Writing, closely
linked to reading, allows children to express themselves, organize their thoughts, and engage more
deeply with the material they read. Together, reading and writing form the cornerstone of literacy,
each reinforcing and enriching the other. This essay will explore the vital role that reading plays in
children's social and cognitive development, examine the inseparable nature of reading and writing
in literacy development, differentiate between shared and independent reading practices, and
describe effective strategies for reading aloud in the foundation phase.
Justification for Reading as Essential to Children’s Social and Cognitive Development
Reading is a multifaceted process that significantly contributes to children's cognitive development.
One of the primary cognitive benefits of reading is the expansion of vocabulary and language skills.
As children engage with a wide range of texts, they encounter new words, phrases, and sentence
structures that enhance their linguistic repertoire. This exposure is critical during the early years
when language acquisition is at its peak. By interacting with diverse forms of language, children
develop a more sophisticated understanding of syntax, grammar, and semantics, which are essential
for effective communication and comprehension.
Reading stimulates cognitive processes such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and abstract
reasoning. When children read, they are not merely absorbing information but are actively engaged
in interpreting, analyzing, and synthesizing the material. This cognitive engagement is particularly
evident when children encounter complex narratives or informational texts that require them to make
inferences, draw conclusions, and evaluate different perspectives. Reading also fosters the
development of imagination and creativity by transporting children to new worlds and exposing them
to a wide range of characters, scenarios, and ideas. Through this imaginative engagement, children
learn to think beyond their immediate experiences, envisioning possibilities and exploring different
ways of thinking.
