About this Course

Children develop strong language skills when they are surrounded by rich conversations and vocabulary. In this course, we’ll explore language development in young children and learn evidence-based strategies for helping children develop language skills and extend their vocabulary knowledge.

Learning Outcomes

• Use open-ended questions
• Extend child responses
• Use advanced language (vocabulary development)
• Prompt thought processes
• Use self- and parallel talk
• Encouraging peer conversations
• Support children with special needs and dual language learners

These strategies are job-embedded and will need to be implemented with the preschool children (3-5 year olds) in your setting.
