Language


The Language materials are incorporated through many daily experiences. The children between birth and six years are in a long sensitive period for language. Language is the means whereby humans become part of the cultural group to which they belong. It is through language that the child acquires the history, social values and behavior of his/her society. The child is continually developing oral language and communication skills. Nurturing this language development prepares the child for later academic work in writing, reading, and grammar.

Oral Language: Listening and communication skills, auditory discrimination, and vocabulary development.
