Summary Of Alexa Ng's Reading Attitude Survey

Survey and Analysis on a Alexa Ng’s Reading Attitudes and Interests

The child whom I am working with for this assignment is called Alexa Ng. Alexa is a female, aged 5 years old. She was born on 4 February 2012 and is the firstborn in her family.

Therefore, reading to Alexa could be the element which boosts her self-confidence. As a whole, I can deduce that Alexa demonstrated a fairly high level of intrapersonal skill (Plant,
