Play and Grow Smart-er Tips Nancy Pyne-Hapke, author of “Play and Grow Smart, A Guide Supporting Brain Development, Birth through Five,” has been giving tips to aid your child’s optimum skill development through proactive neuroscience-based activities every Monday. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books. “LANGUAGE/VOCABULARY” DEVELOPMENTAL SKILL DEFINITION: developing communications skills; articulating thoughts, feelings, needs; speaking, listening, reading, comprehending, writing, and spelling. THE CRITICAL WINDOW during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for LANGUAGE/VOCABULARY: “Vocabulary” development is 2 years through adult. The more opportunity children have for positive language/vocabulary experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. Some Language/Vocabulary: “Vocabulary,” Pt. 9 tidbits for building a strong foundation for reading and literacy: By 4 years old, ASK Toddler questions about the stories you read. * “How many children were in the story?” * “Where did they go?” * “How did she feel?” * “What did you like best?” ENGAGE IN DISCUSSIONS to develop listening and understanding skills. MAKE HOMEMADE books (pictures drawn or torn/glued from magazines) – * a “numbers” book. * a “letters” book. * a “words” book. * a “shapes” book. * ‘Read’ the books you’ve ‘written’ together. Next week – Language/Vocabulary: “Vocabulary,” Pt. 10 Comments to msmarm@roadrunner.com
