The American Academy of Pediatricsrecommends that children’s’ indoor and outdoor learning/play environment should be rich in first-hand experiences that offer opportunities for language development. Children should also have available to them an abundance of books of fantasy, fiction, and nonfiction, and provide chances for the children to relate stories. Caregivers/teachers should foster language development by:
Language reflects and shapes thinking. A preschoolers’ environment and activities should be created to match their needs and interests to enhance their language skills. First-hand experiences encourage children to talk with each other and with adults, to seek, develop, and use increasingly more complex vocabulary, and to use language to express thinking, feeling, and curiosity.
Examples of verbal encouragement or verbal expression are: “ask Johnny if you may play with him”; “tell him you don’t like being hit”; “tell Sara what you saw downtown yesterday;” “can you tell Mommy about what you and Johnny played this morning?” These encouraging statements should be followed by respectful listening, without pressuring the child to speak.
