Based on emergent literacy theory, this study aims to explore the literacy development of a child in a natural family setting, and to analyze the factors influencing her literacy development. A qualitative research method was employed, and data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that this child's reading and writing, which develop along a continuum rather than follow a linear path, are overlapping and interrelated. Her reading behavior is related to her daily life experiences. This behavior serves as a basis in helping her identify and interpret signs and words. In addition, she learns to be aware of the functions and forms of writing and to become a writer through observation and imitation. This child's home literacy environment and resources along with her motivation and interest toward reading and writing activities influence her literacy development. |
