Above I have shown some work that I done from when I was 4 years old. I was required to copy the words that the teacher had written and draw an image to represent the words which I was drawing, for example I had to write orange octopus and therefore would draw an image of what I believed an orange octupus was.
To support my development I believe that the first theory which supports my work is Vygotsky's theory of social development. This mainly asseerts that social interaction has a vital role in the cognitive development process. Looking at my work, I have written the word Nannie however before I wrote this I would have drawn a picture of nannie.
I also believe that Chall's stages specially stage 0 of his theory can relate to the work which I done. This is because within the work that I have done I show that I have a small amount of understanding to the sound structures of the words. I also believe that this stage is appropriate to how I have written as i understand which way the book needs to be held and am able to draw and write the pages and book the right way. Similarly this is apparent with the preparatory stage of Krall's stages in which I can show that I have the phycial skill in order to be able to write and that I have an understanding of the basic priniciples of writing, although some of the letters which I have wrote are not drawn in the correct grapholocial way even though the letter is correct.
