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 DEVELOPMENTAL Language/Vocabulary: “Vocabulary,” Pt. 13, tidbits for the reading/literacy experience with your Toddler/Preschooler/Kindergartener focused on building a strong foundation for reading and literacy: ..what the book is about, ..what happens next and ..how it will all end. ** SUPPORT RECOGNIZING the alphabet by learning the names and sounds of letters by their prominence/frequency in the story or in the text itself. See and say the names and sounds. Note: focus on lower case – what ratio of capital to lower case letters does your child see in books? ** PAY ATTENTION TO what words have been chosen by the author – “big” or “enormous,” “quiet” or “hushed” (it’s onomatopoetic – check it out). ** Use Rhyme to predict the next Rhyming word.
