A variety of children may learn and develop the same, but some children develop in many different ways. In addition, reading and writing skills are an instance where children may develop skills differently. As a child is an infant, each child begins learning many skills and progress as the child progresses to older stages such as an adolescence. However, some children may experience difficulties when it concerns reading and writing skills, but a parent who is concerned about the reading and writing skills can help a child with many different strategies in reading and writing. For instance, to help promote reading development, a parent can help children to acquire effective storybook reading skills, use meaningful contexts to teach basic reading skills, promote vocabulary development, use high-interest works of literature, and many other strategies that can help develop reading skills in a child. In addition, acquiring effective storybook reading skills can help an early experience with books which provides basic knowledge about the written language, which than helps with later reading skills (McDevitt & Ormrod, p.341, 2004). When using meaningful contexts that teach basic reading skills can help a child to enjoy meaningful activities that help teach basic reading skills. However, to help develop successful writing skills a parent can help promote by providing tools for drawing and writing once the child is old enough to use, present authentic writing task, offer choices about writing topics, scaffold the complex process involved in writing, and many other strategies. In addition, when providing tools to a child to draw and write can help a child to explore and recognize what a child can do when painting, drawing, and writing which can help a child develop in reorganization in shapes and letters (McDevitt & Ormrod, p.351, 2004).
