Abstract

Discusses implications for emergent literacy of a study of children two to three years old that examined how age and differing mnemonic cues are related to problem-solving strategies. The study found a transitional stage between older children's symbolic problem solving and younger children's reliance on trial and error. Suggests ways to facilitate symbolic awareness, and thus, emergent literacy. (MDM)
