Some developmental learning tools for Language/Vocabulary development: * puppets * talking teddy bears or other stuffed animals * books, books, books * sing-along tapes/CDs * tapes and games for listening/phonics skills * homemade books * writing activities * creativity kits * reading software Next week – Language/Vocabulary: “Native Language, Recognition of Speech” Comment to msmarm@roadrunner.com
