Can't Wait to Communicate: From Birth to Six

Más información sobre el libro

CAN'T WAIT TO COMMUNICATE FROM BIRTH TO SIX celebrates young children's eagerness to interact with the people around them. From birth, infants have inborn communication skills like cooing and crying to express themselves. At 12 to 18 months toddlers begin to talk meaningless gibberish or jargon, imitating adult speech sounds without words. At 3 to 4 years, preschoolers recognize many alphabet letters and numbers, love to sing and to handle Board Books, and to hear adults read aloud. Five-year-olds are capable communicators. They speak in sentences that average five words, such as "I do not like dogs." In the United States, many fives start kindergarten. At six years, most first graders begin to read Picture Books, and they can dictate short stories. In this concise textbook, INSIGHTS from A to Z cover educational topics. These include Six Easy Art Recipe, Seven Basic Concepts of Literacy, Twelve Tips on Reading Aloud, and Writing Exercises.
