Supporting Language Development of Infants and Toddlers during Mealtime

Описание: Infant and toddler teacher Heather Mulrooney describes how she uses a variety of strategies during mealtime to support language development in very young children. By modeling sign language, labeling objects for children and reading their gestures and body language, she helps them to develop their oral language skills. She explains how mealtimes offer the perfect setting for language development since adults and children alike are all conversing. Therefore, this routine part of the day is a great time to capitalize on the use of intentional language development strategies.
