Vygotsky used the term "scaffolding" to describe the help provided by Abby's sister. Scaffolding refers to the temporary support provided by a more knowledgeable individual to help a learner achieve a task that would be too difficult to do on their own. In this case, Abby's sister provided support by writing out the letters for her to copy, allowing Abby to complete the task with assistance.
