Fostering Language Development
Locate one recent (within five years) scholarly article with research-based strategies for fostering language development in an early childhood classroom.
Using both the article and your textbook, you will create a fact sheet that can be used as a guide in a classroom or school. Your fact sheet should be no more than two pages in length and should include the following:
The language milestones for the age range you chose (Table 2.1 from your course text).
The characteristics of and influences surrounding the area of language you chose (i.e. culture, socio-economic influences, prevalence, etc.).
Explain at least four current, research-based strategies that can be used within a classroom setting. You are required to support each of your strategies from your chosen research articles.
Explain at least two current, research-based strategies for supporting families with children with these language concerns. You are required to support each of your strategies from your chosen research article and textbook.
Enhance the visual appeal of your fact sheet by including a minimum of three related images. As a suggestion, you can also include a page border, creative header, etc.
