Vocabulary and Grammar changes greatly in the middle and
late years of childhood.
Children in this stage of
development verbalize themselves well. During the middle and late childhood stage,
children think about words. They become more
analytical.
The elementary school child’s improvement in
logical reasoning and analytical skills helps in the understanding of constructions as
the appropriate use of comparatives, and subjunctives.
The
whole language approach stresses that reading instruction should parallel children’s
natural language learning. Reading materials should be whole and meaningful.
Basic-skills-and-phonetics approach to reading instruction that stresses phonetic and
basic rules for translating symbols into sounds. The most effective phonological
awareness training involves two main skills: Blending, and segmentation. Bilingualism is
easier for a child than for an adolescents or adults.
