Introduction
Children begin to learn language as soon as they are born, while they grow their language of speech and skills begin to evolve. Children learn how to communicate their feelings towards others based off of what they have learned from their environment at home. Based on what they learned before school, it affects their development of literacy. Children in the U.S. today, about one-third, lack the ability to learn. This is why language development is very important.

This devastating because children as little as nine months being to express their love

We brought in a roll of toilet paper and we told them take as much paper as you want. Miss. Chapman took four, Tyrone took one, Dashara took 5, and I took three. Miss. Chapman showed the example by going first and said four things about herself. When it was Tyrone turn, he struggle and couldn’t think of any. We skipped him and Dashara went on and on about herself. After I was done, we had to ask Tyrone questions to get him to say something about himself. Next we introduced our wordless picture book, “Mr. Wuffles” by David Wiesner, this book was able a cat, some tiny aliens, and ants. During the book the alien ship breaks down and the ants help the aliens, but the cat, Mr Wuffles scares them. Throughout the book we want our students to tell us what they thought was happening. They were really interested in this book and towards the end of this lesson we were running out of time. For the writing activity the students wrote on blank sheets of paper to be the authors of a certain page this book. They wrote down what the aliens were saying and drew some pictures to describe what they …show more content…
Once again we used the CROWD prompts to allow the students share their thoughts about the reading. I asked the question, “How do you think the dog felt living in a different place every night.” Tyrone answered, “He has to sleep and the box and the box is not a good place to sleep, it’s wet right? He need’s a bed, or a tree house, or a house.” This is a type of question that some students can relate to and understand because Dashara had mentioned that she was in a shelter at one point. During our writing time we used a blank paper to let our students describe what they would do if they found a stray dog. In Tyrone’s picture he said he would play hide and seek with the

Children need experiences in which they are surrounded by rich oral language. When children are given experiences with language at a young age they are being prepared for reading and writing. Children learn language as a natural part of development through their everyday conversations with people who care for them.…

    Oral language development refers to the process and stages a child will go through while learning to communicate through spoken words. This process occurs over many years and varies from child to child. Oral language skills begin to develop in babies as they listen to the people around them speak and eventually the child will begin to use language on their own. How quickly a child’s vocabulary grows is greatly influenced by how much the parents talk to their child; however sometimes other factors can be involved such as a mental or a learning disability. Oral language development is critical because it is the foundation of literacy development.…

    The Lorax

    Initially, I was flabbergasted to be assigned a children’s book to write a journal entry. I vaguely remember the story of the Lorax, how and why am I supposed to write a 300 hundred word response to a story designed for children? I walked away from my computer, frustrated at this assignment. I returned to my desk an hour later and thought, “Ed and Karen know what they are doing, there has to be something I can take away from this story”. Subsequently reading The Lorax for the first time in well over a decade, it took me by surprise.…

    How To Read Aloud

    My read aloud did not followed my lesson plan, before I read the story to the students, I forgot to show the students all the pictures in the storybook as I planned. The high points from my read aloud were that the students were engaged by acting out as baby owls or owl mother, and answering the questions from the storybook. The weak points from my read aloud were reading the story too fast, and after I asked a question to the students, I should wait a little longer wait time for the students to think and response. To make the read aloud better for next time, I will need to slow down my speed and pause as needed. Also, after reading the story, I should ask the students some questions for them to connect their own experiences with the story,…

    Language plays an important role in a child’s intellectual, emotional and social development. Language can be both seen and heard. Language is a guide to social reality (Sapir, 1949). For example, body language, sign language and the social convention about how to combine words, express and connect ideas to interact with other people. All language including written, visual and spoken developed from cultural and social contexts and understood in people's social and cultural background (Green, 2006, p.2).…
