QUESTION 1 [30]
The following questions are based on the scenario below.
Tom is a 4-year-old boy who stays with his granny in a village. Every evening his
granny tells him short bedtime stories. He enjoys storytelling. He has just been
admitted at a local daycare centre and the teacher is impressed by how Tom
retells the stories to his peers at the centre. His language is characterised by
more complex sentences that resemble that of older children.
1.1 Describe the language stage that Tom displays. Give concrete examples to
support your answer. (15)
1.2 How can Tom’s grandmother employ advanced strategies and techniques to
strengthen and promote his language skills through supplementary activities?
(5)
1.3 Recommend ways that you as a teacher can explore to advance the literacy
development of children like Tom. (10)
1.1 Tom displays the language stage of early language development,
characterized by the use of complex sentences and the ability to retell
stories in a coherent manner. This stage typically occurs around the
age of 3-4, when children start to use more complex sentence
structures and show an increased understanding of storytelling.
Concrete examples of Tom's language stage include: - Using more
complex sentence structures such as "The big brown bear chased the
scared little rabbit" instead of simple sentences like "The bear chased
the rabbit." - Demonstrating an understanding of sequencing and
storytelling by retelling the bedtime stories he hears from his
grandmother. - Using a wider range of vocabulary to describe
characters, events, and actions in the stories.
