Assignment 2: The Role Of Language Development In Young Children

We help the children develop these skills by interaction with each other, singing songs, reading and sharing books as well as talking with them and

Children are encouraged to communicate their needs, feelings and thoughts. They are given opportunities to choose and use reading materials.

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.

Literacy is a vital part of all later learning. Because of this, the children will engage in hands on activities that relates to what they have read and give them opportunities to make up their own versions, as well as make up their own stories. They will have a large group story time and a partner reading time. An ample variety of books will be available at all times. Signs with words and pictures will be posted around the classroom showing, daily activities, objects that are used daily, and the placement of toys and

Typically, by the age of 7 children are usually fluent in speaking their primary language. They generally have a vocabulary of 4000-10000 words and their reading and writing skills will further develop. They will be able to spell more accurately, write clearer, perhaps even in cursive, know about comprehension and punctuation and answer questions. This increase in language skills allows further investigation of the world about them by other methods such as books, computers, the internet

Just as the needs of students vary teachers methods of instruction should vary. Meeting the literacy needs of students should be done through a wide variety of instructional strategies that meet the needs of students and meet the requirements of a balanced literacy program. The following information shares 12 instructional procedures to be used in a third grade classroom. The procedures are from the Tompkins’ Compendium shared in the text Literacy for the 21st Century: A Balanced Approach (6th ed.).

1. Suggest an appropriate literacy play center for a 1st grade class. What does it teach/reinforce? What materials do you need?

The acquisition of language is essential to the development of a child. Though some children are born genetically mutated, specifically children with Down’s syndrome, the capabilities of acquiring language during developmental markers is far less than a child with just 21 chromosomes. Parents and/or guardians of infants and toddlers with Down’s syndrome believe that their child will one day be able to verbally communicate with them. They presume the possibility, but does research support their beliefs? For the purpose of this paper, the child from infancy through three-years old will be discussed in regards to the developmental domain that are affected by Down’s syndrome. The undeniable assumption is if an institution provides early intervention for an infant or toddler with Down’s syndrome, then that child’s social-emotional and language will be affected.

I will plan activities that provide opportunities to promote and develop verbal and nonverbal communication, curiosity, exploration, solving problems and physical skills. These activities should be easy to adapt for children with physical and learning disabilities.

Language is a code made up of rules that include what words mean, how to make words, how to put them together, and what word combinations are best in what situations. Speech is the oral form of language. The purpose of this study is to find out the developmental stages the child goes through in the acquisition of language from birth to 5 years.

The seventh and eighth chapter of the text talked about developing a facility and then equipping the facility with age appropriate items. As I read through these chapters, I reflected back to my time at the Fishback Center as well as the current center I work at, Kids World Learning Center.

After reading our book, (End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad) I can passed around a few of the fruits that is mentioned in the book… I can apply cooking activities with the children once a month this will be a great way of learning new words and promoting literacy.

Everyday we are developing no matter our age, but it is how we develop children that will tell a tremendous amount an individual. How a child developments is fundamentally important at a young age as it affects all aspect of their lives once the child matures. Throughout the class, we looked at many theorists during the course of the semester as well as looked at many articles pertaining to the concepts of the development of children. The theorists and articles opened up our minds to a world that we have never seen before and concepts about child development we have never been taught but have seen in the practical work we do every week. What makes humans unique is the ability that we have to interpret the language being used, as Lois Bloom
