Abstract

For centuries, educators have assumed that children acquire knowledge by internalizing it form the environment. It was not until the 1970’s that the researchers begun to study about the nature of children’s reading and writing systems. Psychologist wondered how children come to understand what literacy is, what functions children believed literacy served in their lives, and how children made use of literacy. This paper tries to answer these questions based on the Piagetian perspective.
