What is emergent literacy of a child?

"Emergent readers understand that print contains meaningful information. They imitate the reading process and display basic reading readiness skills like directionality movement (eye movement from top to bottom or left to right.) They can participate in shared reading activities and are able to follow and match words with their pronunciation when teachers point to the words as they read them. Additionally:

  • Use illustrations in the text to support comprehension
  • listen and follow a story and can easily develop an awareness of the story structure
  • represent the main idea through illustrations and can retell major events in the story with or without illustrations
  • use illustrations and prior experience to make predictions and to support comprehension
  • possess some degree of phonemic awareness
  • are able to connect the initial letter of words with its phoneme"

Does reading on line have any diadvantages as opposed to reading the book?

What is the pleasure of reading?

Reading is one of life's great pleasures. It can take you away to another world, introduce you to people you would never have known otherwise, and immerse you in places you might never see yourself, if not for the power of the written word. Books can inspire people to take action, to see things in a different way, and to reflect deeply upon their own experiences and lives. As Morrissey once sang, "There's more to life than books, you know--but not much more."

What is the theme of The Year of Wonders?

There are many themes in Year of Wonders.

There's the issue of feminism and women's rights, Anys is the main figure for this theme as she sleeps around and refuses to get married. It is after her visit to Anys that Anna begins to notice how the women are 'chained' to their man folk. Aswell, Mompelion forcing his wife to atone for her self abortion by not sleeping with him.

There are HEAPS of examples in here, you just have to look.

There's the issue of god and faith. At the begining, everybody has their full faith in religon and the church but as the novel goes on people begin to loose faith. Take when Anna considers the rock she tripped on and wonders whether it was placed by god.

Also to do with this theme is how various characters turn to other religious practices such as Anna's step mother and the guy (I cant remember his name :b) who turns to flagalism (sorry about spelling)

Again, the Gowdies have extreme relevance here as they are healers and accused of witchcraft.

There's the element of growth and evolvment of character. While Anna grows strong and becomes a hero, many either die or come out of the story worse for wear, like Mompellion.

Life and Death. Anna, after witnessing such destruction due to illness, ends up entering midwifery and aiding the enterance of many many children into life. Also Elinor, who is a large symbol in the novel or goodness and life, ends up dying.

I picked up on the love triangle between Anna, Mompellion and Elinor. There is reference to Mompellion being infatuated with Anna, such as when he lingers when she is breastfeeding, and at the end when they sleep together. However, in a way I saw Anna as admiring Elinor to the point of loving her and even being so obssessed as to want to BE Elinor, hence the sleeping with her husband and then feeling terrible after she learns Elinor had not. She also mentions being jealous of Mompellion at one point.

I'm sure there are heaps more aswell, I can't remember anymore of the top of my head though but good luck :D
