    Adults can effectively support and extend the speech, language and communication development of children during early years by making learning fun and enjoyable and using games that require a lot of repetition and turn taking.

Always have a positive, friendly tone of voice, smile and use positive body language to encourage children to follow your example. Always give positive comments to children and try to encourage repeated good behaviour by rewarding them with things like stickers and team points so thy and others want to copy this behaviour.…

I also learned that some children need more time than others to develop.…

    I observed Terrie’s Preschool class on October the 16th at Hillside Christian Preschool. During the observation I saw many actions where Terrie would respond to a child and give positive responses, showing the children “yes what you are doing is great, keep up the good work”. During my observation I was watching and looking for how Terrie showed modeling and what her tone of voice and language looked like. I watched for how Terrie was showing the children physical contact and in what way, and her use of language toward and around the children. It is very important to use language and words that children are going to respond to, that children will think is supportive, and they are being encouraged.…
