Language and Literacy Development
The text provides a great deal of information about Language and Literacy development for this age. I found information on “Toddler Two-Word Utterances.” These include phrase like “All broke, all done, and me bite” (Trawick-Smith, 2014).

I can also help children start to use their words. Some things you could watch for are oral language abilities and literacy skills. This includes the child’s ability to understand words and their use of simple words and phrases. You can also look out for their interest in books, and letter recognition. You can encourage children to turn the pages of books and point out letters of their name as a start.

Open-ended questions are used during art as well. They ask about what they are drawing or writing. This allows the children to describe the picture they are envisioning as they draw it and communicate that to
