In this theoretical perspective, the integration of new knowledge with existing knowledge can only occur when the learner is actively involved in the learning process” (Tracey & Morrow, 2006, p. 47) “ The social learning perspective incorporates several different theories, all of which emphasize the central role of social interaction in the development of knowledge and learning. When applied to the field of reading, the social learning perspective emphasizes the importance of social influences and social interaction on literacy learning” (Tracey & Morrow, 2006, p. 100).
