Building Language Skills for Primary
Age Students
LEARNING OBJECTIVES1. DEVELOPMENTAL NORMS
2. SPECIFIC STRATEGIES FOR STUDENT AT SCHOOL AND HOME
3. SUPPORTING LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
EARLY CHILDHOOD SETTINGS THAT VALUE LANGUAGE AND LITERACY ARE NOISY AND ACTIVE.
Since language development is an interactive process in which children learn to talk by
talking freely about their experiences, it stands to reason that a preschool setting promoting
language development will be distinguished by the constant hum of children's conversations. A setting where children are expected to be
relatively quiet and where adults do most of the talking not only inhibits language development but also deprives children of their basic need to
communicate.Hohmann & Weikart
