Nailah
Nailah (3 years 3 months) is attempting without success to cut a picture of a horse from a magazine. She becomes upset and frustrated with her efforts and finally gives up. “Nailah, can I help you?” asks the Educator.
“I want this horse but I can’t cut it!” Nailah responds.
The Educator sits down to help her. “Well, the best way to cut a picture from a magazine is to tear out the page first, like this. Then it’s a bit easier to cut. I’ll hold it for you while you cut… That’s great. You’ve cut all the way across to the top. Now I’ll turn it around and you can cut along the bottom of the picture… Good work! You did it. I’m glad I could help you, Nailah.”
In the following scenario, the Educator has used the technique known as ‘scaffolding’ to help Nailah persevere and achieve success.
