Talk, repeat and listen.

Conversations with children help language grow.

Strategies & Activities

You play a key role in helping young children develop their communication skills. The relationship that you build and the language rich opportunities you provide during daily routines, circle times, programming and frequent conversations help the children’s language grow.   Surround the children with language all day.

“Keep in mind during the preschool years, children are learning about their world through oral language,
and the primary means of this is through conversation.”
