The Young Language Learner

What this means for our teaching
  • Words are not
Dont depend on the spoken word only should include movement & involve the sense use objects & pics to work with demonstrate what you need them to do.
  •   Play with language
-sing a song -tell tales
  •  Language as language
Reading & writing are important for the childs growing awareness of language & for their growth in the language.
  • Variety in the classroom
