CURRENT THEORIES ABOUT READING
PROPONENTS
Jean Piaget Lev Vygotsky
COGNITIVE How people think and understand Comes from Latin word cognitio-, from
conoscere which means ‘get to know’ Concerned with acquisition of
knowledge (Microsoft Encarta, 2009)
READING AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTResearches conducted
by Jean Piaget and Lev Vygostsky have shown that language and thought interact with each other, and that children go through five stages of development.
STAGE 1: SENSORIMOTOR PERIODBirth to 2 years oldThe child: Explores the world
through his five senses Is initially not able to
represent things in his mind
Develops object permanence
Learns by adaptation to environment
READING IN THE SENSORIMOTOR PERIODThe child: Is interested in picture books
STAGE 2: PREOPERATION OR PRECONCEPTUAL PERIOD2 – 4 years oldThe child: Explores the world around him Experiments with things in his
environment Imitates adults in the use of things Develops animism Develops egocentricism
READING IN THE PREOPERATIONAL PERIODThe child: Begins to develop
concepts and associate words with pictures and images
Apple =
READING IN THE PREOPERATIONAL PERIOD His reading interest
involve a growing visual discrimination of objects and symbols
STAGE 3: INTUITIVE THOUGHT PERIOD4 – 7 years old
The child: Is introduced to
concepts of number, weight, length and height
READING IN THE INTUITIVE THOUGHT PERIODThe child: Enjoys listening to rhymes and
reading and reciting poems Develops reading readiness skills Can read simple words, phrases
and sentences (4-5 years old) Can read preprimers and basal
readers (6-7 years old)
STAGE 4: CONCRETE OPERATIONAL8 – 11 years oldThe child: Is capable of thinking out
about actions previously carried out only at a sensorimotor level
Develops logical reasoning
Develops conservation
CAUSE
EFFECT
READING IN THE CONCRETE OPERATIONAL PERIODThe child: Can do a lot of reading with meaning Can retell stories read Can pick out key words or topic
sentences that give the main idea
READING IN THE CONCRETE OPERATIONAL PERIODThe child: Can note supporting details Can determine cause-effect relationships Can make inferences
There is a rapid growth in reading and in use of reading tool.
STAGE 5: FORMAL OPERATIONAL PERIOD11-14 years oldThe preteener: Is capable of dealing
with hypothesis and propositions
Develops abstraction
READING IN THE FORMAL OPERATIONAL PERIOD The preteener: Can cope with higher
level critical reading skills: drawing conclusions, making judgments, and evaluating plot and style
For bright pupils: Reading has become truly analytic, interactive, constructive and strategic
Beginning of period of refinement and wide reading
