Part 1: As you were reading this week, what vocabulary was used that was unfamiliar to you or might be to your peers?

Explain, in your own words, what each word means and how it is used in the context of learning and cognition.

Part 3: Consider the events from the past week of your life. How does the ability to read and write effectively affect our behaviors, actions, and knowledge development? Describe one personal real-life example of an occurrence that indicates the possible consequences when reading and writing acquisition are not well-developed or when language development creates boundaries, such as educational or employment opportunities.
