Biography: As a developmental psychologist, I am interested in understanding how children learn language and literacy from events that ��occur naturally in their lives. One such activity is when parents (or other adults) read books to children, or when children read books themselves. I am also interested in understanding the basic mechanisms that underlie the acquisition of reading and writing |
The language and culture of my heritage is passed on to me orally. it's a different way off learning than how I am taught at school. How do I keep my traditional culture alive while learning to read and being immersed in the majority culture?
Reading is the core of learning and staying in school . improving reading skills with young Aboriginal children can open up the doors to future prospects.
