Introduction

The Set Up

Having completed the Literature Review, I began thinking what I was going to say in the " Introduction". To complete this I split it, basically, into two sections as I did with the Literature Review:

1. The early use of signs which are introduced at an early age to children

2. The methodology of the dissertation.

In the first part I explained how, from an early age, children are introduced to signs and symbols, first, by their parents and, later, by their teachers, using Flash cards, pictures etc. I explained that my plan was to help primary school teachers manage their classes with the aid of a series of picture cards, which could be held up or pointed to if they were hanging on a board in lieu of having to give verbal commands. This would save time and the children would enjoy seeing and responding to the cards.
