Supporting Language Development, Birth to Age Five

This training focuses on the beginning stages of language and literacy. The training will look at the progression of a child’s language from infancy through age five and the critical role that the adult and the environment play in this development. As well as the exploration of children’s early experience with communication, speaking, and hearing vocabulary and the role this plays in a child’s emerging literacy skills. The more children know about language and literacy before they arrive at school, the better equipped they can succeed in reading.
