Pinnell  –  Page  110  
 
 
Gay  Su  Pinnell  is  a  national  leader  in  Reading  Recovery
...
   Pinnell  focuses  on  the  students  ability  to  communicate  and  
engage  in  conversation  and  how  to  help  them  extend  their  language  in  real  life  
situations
...
   Young  students  are  quick  learners,  they  grasp  onto  things  that  they  see  and  
then  repeat  it  and  eventually  make  it  their  own
...
   They  realize  that  
language  can  be  used  to  meet  their  needs  and  to  communicate  with  others

   Pinnell  put  definitions  to  these  seven  
categories  for  the  use  of  a  study;  
1
...
 
2
...
 
3
...
Personal  Language:  used  to  express  individuality  and  personality
...
Imaginative  Language:  used  to  create  a  world  of  one’s  own,  to  express  
fantasy  through  dramatic  play,  drama,  poetry  or  stories
...
Heuristic  Language:  used  to  explore  the  environment,  to  investigate,  
to  acquire  knowledge  and  understanding

...
 
The  most  important  thing  a  teacher  can  do  is  observe    and  record  the  
students  language  behavior,  this  will  show  what  the  student  can  do  and  give  an  
effective  starting  point  for  instruction
...
   When  listening  to  a  student  
conversation  you  can  use  the  definitions  given  to  figure  out  what  types  of  language  
they  are  using
...
   You  will  be  able  to  gather  if  a  student  can  describe  things,  use  prior  
knowledge,  or  project  into  the  future
...
     As  a  
student  gets  older  a  teacher  will  be  able  to  see  through  their  conversations  their  
ability  to  problem  solve  complex  situations,  make  inferences,  state  opinions,  and  to  
argue
...
 
By  observing  language  in  the  classroom  a  teacher  can  make  two  assessments  
(1)  can  asses  an  individual  child’s  competence  by  looking  at  the  extent  to  which  
he/she  uses  the  various  functions  of  language  and  how  effectively,  (2)  can  asses  the  
language  environment  by  determining  which  functions  occur  and  where,  and  which  
are  being  neglected
