literacy
What did I get from the readings in terms of thinking about reading and literacy?First of all I need to say that literacy text is full of information that a prospective teacher should know in detail. Literacy is a science and it has very significant effects on nations’ lives.The first article which is about books with picture is really helpful for teacher especially for early childhood teachers as me. Children can easily lose their focus while reading. They are growing up in an environment that supplies every need. They are always looking for more. To create an environment which is attractive for children is really difficult job. However by the help of picture book, this job is easier. The word and meaning correlation can be shown by picture books. In addition, especially kindergarten students are too young to understand entire meaning of some words but to show the meaning with the help of pictures make them understand better. I think that visualization is always help to teach something. With visual images some children may surprise with every different pages and it encourages teachers to work efficiently more. From my point of view books with picture is crucial achievement about literacy. Even as a big children, we enjoy to reads books with picture.What are some of the key issues that stick out to me?I learnt that literacy is a real science which has big effects on nation’s lives. When we go through the history of literacy we can understand this better. Education is one of the most important subjects for people’s life quality. We need to teach, we need to be responsible for next generations with providing necessary knowledge for them. I also think that we are in very well conditions, everything is ready for us; books, magazines, internet, archives. We are so lucky and we have also additional responsibility by having these opportunities.What am I wondering most about?I am wondering about the last text which is about open court. First of all I want to indicate that the interaction between teacher and students is crucially important for the quality of education. Without this interaction, education in school means nothing to me. You can prepare a script for children and give the education at home or in a laboratory or anywhere else. Why are we collecting children in the school? I am really upset about this issue. How can somebody bother teachers who really want to be helpful for children? Open court is a system that may negatively affect education facility in a long term process. And this system is in contrast with the real aim of education facility itself. Another issue of the text is discrimination. The school that has higher income level –students white and upper economic class members- have flexibility about this program. But in lower economic stage districts there are enforcements. Where is NCLB Act? Silence of teachers may cause illiterate future generations.

Language acquisition of children
Language is a concept that everyone uses some kind of it. From people who have hearing impairment to healthy people, from mentally disabled people to healthy individuals everyone has their own kind of verbal, visual or body language. All these people acquire language in several different ways. For healthy children language acquisition improves in various ways. For example they learn language by the help of their parents or closers besides their innate capacity to speak a language.
First phrases are difficult for children to make some sounds but in time they used to do it and then they become native speakers of one language or more. According to articles it is really easy to learn more than one language at the same time when the child is too young. It really is. I can say this because I am using English as a second language. Even I start to use English when I was 12 still I missed a lot of details about English. In this regard, I can indicate that the importance of reading. Especially reading books, magazines and everything is so important to improve second language. For children reading books also very important parents can start from fairy tales books with pictures and can continue with story books and reading provide well improvement and in a professional way.
According to articles there is theory of nativists who believe that ability to use language comes from peoples inner capacity, on the other hand social interactionists claim that adults, family, closers have great influence on learning language. From my point of view we cannot separate these two theories from each other. Both of them have right parts. Any body can speak language without innate ability and also without social interaction.
