Scaffolding
Captions available
The idea
Scaffolding is temporary support from a more skilled person that is withdrawn as the learner becomes capable.
In practice
A parent names each step aloud, then only the first step, then nothing.
Where people slip
Support that is never withdrawn is not scaffolding. Withdrawal is part of the definition.
