💬 Rich Conversations
Ask open ended questions and give children time to explain, describe, predict, and respond.
💬 Vocabulary & Language
Support children's communication through rich conversations, responsive interactions, and meaningful vocabulary experiences.
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
Make Conversation Part of Learning
Children build language when adults listen, respond, model language, introduce new words, and invite children to share their thinking.
🧠 New Vocabulary
Introduce precise words during play, routines, studies, books, and real experiences.
👂 Listening & Responding
Model attentive listening and expand children's ideas without taking over the conversation.
🏡 Family Language
Honor home languages and invite families to share words, stories, songs, and communication traditions.
