Diversifying Literacy
Making education more accessible to more children starts in how we engage students in early childhood. Children learn language by interacting with their environment and other people. Language development is essential for social, emotional, cognitive, moral, and behavioral development. Many early childhood theorists suggest that language is developed through high-quality interactions with other children and adults. Children require explicit instruction and social skills to develop effective language knowledge.
Developing Language seeks to bridge the gap between research and practice by providing professional development, in-home support, and lesson resources to increase children’s language skills for ages 1-4. All the resources provided are affordable and easy to implement in your home, school, or program. The professional development contains:
Easy-to-use resources, lesson plans, read-aloud books, games, and charts can engage children in language through collaboration and conversations that are developmentally appropriate.
The Developing Language academic blog provides information on current research on language development in early childhood written language professionals and parents can understand
The in-home support services are designed to equip parents with the tools they need to develop their child’s play and language skills through in-person or virtual sessions.
