Event description
“If the job of a toddler is to learn to talk, the job of a pre-schooler is to learn to communicate, which is a complicated task indeed!”
Scolastic, 2018
This course will help you to understand how young children develop communication skills including exploring the wider ways in which 3 – 4 year olds communicate. We will discuss how we can utilise the environment and role of the adult to enhance both communication and language skills.
We will explore how young children acquire language including the speech sounds and share practical ideas and experiences which can enhance progress in this area. There will be opportunities to define different types of communicators including a deeper look at reluctant communicators and meaningful ways in which we can help.
“Talking, understanding others and knowing what to say are really important skills. They help children make friends, learn and enjoy life to the full. Adults’ response is to acknowledge the child’s attempts to communicate and provide a stimulating learning environment.” ICan
