TIP Chapters 5, 6, 7
Our group overall pretty much ageed that the Maturation Theory was a new one for us. It seems like an odd statement to make about child literacy but Amanda did bring up a very interesting point. You have to keep in mind that this theory is dated for us but may be way ahead of its time period in the 1930's. I also think we all agree that there are a lot of environmental stimulants that assit (or perhaps do not assist) in child development and literacy.
We also all brought up very interesting comments about Family Literacy and how important it is to read outside of school time. Yet, in this society of TV, video games, and the internet, how many family take the time out to sit down and read together? Not many I assume. But it's a habit that should be kept up.
Lastly, we thought the Social theory of learning was very interesting and valuable. Children are so insightful when it comes to their environment, and many times, the first words or expressions children share come from other people and places. The same goes for children of less positive environments, where it may not be safe to interract as much. Do they, in turn not get the most out of literacy and reading if their social interractions are not where they should be? How do we solve this problem?
Overall, I think everyone in our group all shared a lot of the same opinions but brought up excellent new ideas as well.
