What a child can do today with assistance, she will be able to do by herself tomorrow.
Lev S. VygotskyBy giving our students practice in talking with others, we give them frames for thinking on their own.
Lev S. VygotskyThe child begins to perceive the world not only through his [or her] eyes but also through his [or her] speech
Lev S. VygotskyThe specifically human capacity for language enables children to provide for auxiliary tools in the solution of difficult tasks, to overcome impulsive action, to plan a solution to a problem prior to its execution, and to master their own behavior.
