Speaking and listening (language).
Your preschooler's language skills develop when
she has lots of opportunities to listen to and speak with others. Teachers talk with children throughout the day—while they play, at group times, and one-to-one. They encourage children to share information, ideas, and feelings with each other.
Teachers support children's language skills by
Using your child's interests to introduce new words and concepts
Encouraging your child to use longer, more detailed sentences by adding to what he
says in conversation
Asking questions that encourage thinking and require more than a yes-or-no answer
Using rich vocabulary—unusual or difficult words that are new to children
Labeling shelves and bins in English and other languages children speak
