1. Developmentally Appropriate Practices For Preschoolers with Language Delays
In this chapter, we will discuss principles of developmentally appropriate practice as prescribed by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), and Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children (DEC).
2. Language and Emergent Literacy
In this chapter, we will discuss the language challenges of preschool including novel vocabulary, compound sentences, and conversational skills using questions. In addition, we will identify the foundational emergent literacy skills needed for kindergarten. A variety of picture books to nurture preschool language and literacy goals will be offered.
3. Social-Emotional and Cognition/Pretend Play
In this chapter, we will discuss the language challenges of preschool with a focus on social-emotional and cognitive/pretend play development. Picture books to foster language goals in these areas will be provided. The course will conclude with an activity to identify the many language, emergent literacy, and pretend play goals that can be targeted using a single picture book.
