Growing letters

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Young learners with reading and writing difficulties cannot reach their full potential inschool. Teachers, parents and illustrators of children's books cannot assume the efficacyof illustrations as an aid in developing reading skills as a matter of course. PierreBourdieu's habitus theory explains perceptual diversity. Illustrations, as varied visualcontexts, can be interpreted in different ways and, therefore, also provoke differentmeanings. The thesis proposes that the young learner should be provided with a diversityof visual stimulants. The thesis proposes that such visual stimulants comprise multiplecharacterising in illustrated form.
