1. Clarissa wants to be a speech therapist. In her child development class, she learned that Vygotsky believed that linguistic and cognitive development go hand in hand after a certain age. How can she learn more about his theory, since it might give her some helpful insight in understanding children's language problems?

2. Todd is working in a daycare center after school. He notices that there is a wide range in the children's use of language, even within age groups. Are there any guidelines that Todd can obtain that could help determine if a child is delayed in language development?

3. Jared is concerned because his 7-year-old son, Damion, does not like to read. His second-grade teacher says he is about average for his age, but she has to prod him to do his reading assignments at school. What can Jared do to help Damion become a better reader?
