PEE Paragaph Children's Early Literacy

Within text D the classroom assistant providing Tom with the rest of the word he is attemtping to pronounce rather than giving him longer and asking him to sound out the different phonemes in order to help him get the answer himself  becomes a regular occuance for example when he says "ag" and she replies with "again" to which he echoes her and says "again". This suggests that the child may have difficulty to understand the word however it is impossible to say whether this is the reason for him being unable to pronounce the word and the reading assistant having to give the rest of the word to him as it may be because of distractions that are around him as he is in a school which is a busy environment and he may be surrounded by other children walking past, loud background noises or as he is reading a book there is the possibility that his attention is being diverted from his reading due to the illustrations on the page shown on text E.

Language change is present within the Alice In Wonderland text as they use the word "stocking" in order to describe the item of clothing in present day we would refer to as socks suggesting that the word may have undergone diachronic change and has narrowed in meanings over the years. In the present day stocking has connotations of sexiness as women wear them as a form of lingerie rather than the old connotations of an every day essential item of clothing. In today's society it is seen as more socially acceptable for women to be seen just wearing lingerie as they are often shown on billboards as part of an advertisement which would not have been acceptable before. A modern version of this book would not use the word "stockings" instead it would use "socks" as due to the connotations it would be seen as innapropiate as Alice In Wonderland is a childrens book.
