Supporting Children 's Vocabulary Development

Some children may not be able to understand the words being spoken to them and/or the grammatical rules of sentence construction. Therefore, when their teacher tells the class what they need to do, or explains a new idea or concept,9 they may struggle to understand what is being said. Having inappropriate vocabulary is

The last aspect is ‘speaking’, this means that children must be able to show that they are able to use past, present and future terms correctly.

c.Explain how your plans build on each other to support children’s language and literacy development through active and multimodal learning.

Describe your child’s language and cognitive development throughout early childhood. Discuss how his/her language and cognition has affected interactions with you by giving specific examples.

Identify the key vocabulary (i.e., developmentally appropriate sounds, words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs) essential for children to use during the learning segment.

It is crucial to retain age appropriate vocabulary and to adapt responses tailored to the age, ability and needs of the child/young person.

2.Given the central focus, describe how the standards and learning objectives within learning segment promotes children’s active learning and multimodal nature of learning language and literacy development in an interdisciplinary context.

I must commend you on a very well put together analysis. It took me a while to get the hang of APA formatting which I still have not perfected, but I would refrain from referring to a reference as “the article” when paraphrasing; I would refer to the author or sources, not the type of source.

Question 2) Explain how speech, language and communication skills support each of the following areas in children’s development:

Students will demonstrate their knowledge on vocabularies by identifying the new words listed in the text and researching and explaining at least three of them in their own words

One thing that really stood out to me this weekend, Juicy words can be good for the children and reached their vocabulary skills very quickly.

At 18 months, the virtual child had over 50 words at her command that she was able to use to make two-word sentences such as “Mama up” and “Doggie outside.” In their effort to further encourage the child’s development of her language skills, the parents applied B.F. Skinner’s operant conditioning theory (Berk, 2012). They would respond, using slightly longer sentences such as “Yes, the doggie is outside” before introducing descriptive and useful new words. The parents would encourage imitation and respond with positive reinforcement, which would further enthuse the child to develop her language skills (Berk, 2012). When the child was 2 years old, the parents would converse with the child at any given opportunity and would read books of her choice which further influenced her language development. Research has found that when mothers are more responsive during the first few years of a child’s life enable their children to achieve language development milestones at an earlier stage than children whose mothers were less responsive (Leigh, Nathans & Nievar, 2011). The mother had a more influential role in the virtual child’s language development as she would allow the child to explore the surrounding environment through daily walks and teach the child new words as they did. It was due to parental involvement and an encouraging, safe environment, the virtual child developed her language skills not only due to influence but to a desire to learn new

Multiplication by ten gives students opportunity to explore larger numbers, and can also be extended on(Reys et al. ch. 11.4). In addition, multiples of 10 give students the knowledge that all digits move left one place and an additional place hundreths. This concept can be used to introduce the decimal place which is also moving place each time something is multiplied by tens. Exposing students to a range of examples which displays patterns that occur when multiplying by tens and hundreths will generate meaning of digits moving place (Reys et al., ch. 11.4).
