How to support…
Language Development and Communication
- Help the child to develop communication skills by having conversations. Eat together as a family with no distractions (i.e. smart phones). Turn off the technology in the house; YOU are your child’s most effective learning tool!
- Read books, talk about your day, and share jokes. In the car you can sing songs and recite poetry or rhymes.
- Encourage spoken language when you know or feel that your child is capable. Don’t “give in” to pointing or whining.
