The study was based within the framework ofVygotsky's (1978) theory of literacy and learning. A key factor in Vygotsky 's theory is the social interaction between the literate adult and the young child. Informal observations of literacy in the home, discussions with mothers, and analysis of video recordings of story reading sessions revealed differences in the way literacy was constructed. Despite these differences there were also some similarities. Each mother in her own way was a successful teacher of her child and there was some support for Vygotsky's theory; through verbally mediated assisted peiformance the children were learning and were taught about literacy. However, there were some areas where mothers did not increase the challenge for their children as might be expected with the Vygotskian model. These findings prompted me to reflect on my practice and that of other early childhood teachers when sharing books with young children.

Parallels between stochastic and deterministic analysis and between linear and non-linear conceptual models are referred to. The emphasis is on similarities and contrasts between the analysis of hydrologic processes over the range of scales from the water molecule to the global water balance.
