Emerging Language Lesson Two

It is important to use names and verbs to teach your child how to foster engagement. Choose a phrase that demonstrates this strategy.

Picture charts such as this one, to show a child step by step actions to wash their hands, is a good way to provide information in multiple ways and reinforce the communication skills of using a name and verb.

It is important to use functional words to model social engagement.  Choose the sentence which uses functional words in this way.

Modeling language by teaching children about the use of words in context will help children develop social skills.  Pick the sentence which best demonstrates this strategy.
