Verbal, Writing & Graphic Image-making Skills of Young Children

The book "Verbal, Writing & Graphic Image-making Skills of Young Children" by Christine E. Bottrell offers a comprehensive analysis of the development of verbal, written, and graphic skills in young children. It highlights the importance of graphic representations and their influence on visuo-motor skills as well as the visual perception processes that are crucial for understanding language and graphics. The work argues that formal education in these areas is often inadequate and suggests developing programs that promote children's graphic skills. By combining quasi-experimental designs with qualitative methods, the study provides valuable insights into teachers' perceptions and the actual progress of children. This research could help support cognitive development through a stronger integration of language and graphics.
