4. What is Speech? These little ones may not have a lot of speech yet, but they probably understand quite a bit of language

5. Speechrefers to Articulation/phonological skills, speech fluency and voice. We are looking at a child’s ability to: • Physically produce the individual sounds and sound patterns of his/her language (Articulation). • Produce speech with appropriate rhythm, and free of Stuttering behavior. • Produce speech with an appropriate vocal quality for his/her age and sex.

6. What is Language? Language is a symbolic, rule governed system used to convey a message. In English, the symbols can be words, either spoken or written Gestural symbols “I don’t know” “Bye Bye” • “Showing surprise”

7. Supporting your baby’s growing language and literacy skills from 0 -12 Months • Babies come into the world filled with curiosity about the people, objects, and places they encounter. Daily routines offer babies rich opportunities to have fun, parents should connect and bond with loved ones, and figure out how the world works. • Learningskills start through everyday moments between babies and their parents . Readingtogether, and watching your baby to learn how He /She communicates through sounds, facialexpressions, and gestures, give him/her a foundation in literacy and language skills.

8. Self-confidence grows as babies feel loved and nurtured by the parents who care for them. They begin developing self-control when you soothe them after an upset. • If your baby is interested and involved in an activity-and having fun -he /she is learning! It isn’t necessary to “teach” very young children.

9. Supporting your baby’s growing language and • literacy skills from 12 -24 Months • Young toddlers are little scientists. They are eager to figure out how everything works. children really begin to venture out into the world to explore, discover, and learn. • Toddlers are becoming more and more effective at communicating. • (In fact, “No!” becomes a favorite word and a powerful way to assert their independence.) • By the end of 2nd year, they will even be making simple sentences, like “more milk” or “want that”.

10. Supporting your baby’s growing language and literacy skills from 12 -24 Months • Reading together is one important way you can • help your toddler make the transition from baby to big kid. • Languagedevelopment also soars at this age, as children are using words to express their thoughts and feelings. • In the third year, you will continue to see a big jump in your child’s thinking skills. • He /She will start to appreciate humor and jokes. He/She will show her creativity and her problem-solving skills as He/She plays and interacts with you

11. 12 Ways to Support Language Development for Infants and Toddlers Julia Luckenbil When you talk to your child, you support his / her language development.  Think about what you are saying from your infant or toddler’s point of view.  If he / she could talk, she might ask you...

12. 1.  When I point to something, tell me what it is. While you are telling me, look at it and point to it too.

13. 2.  Use a gesture along with the word you say, so that I can say it too. If you tell me it is time to eat, tap your lips.  I can imitate the gesture and tell you when I'm hungry.

14. 3.Talkto me about what you are doing. Tell me what will happen next, so I will know what to expect? 4.Talkto me about what I am doing. Using words to describe my actions and feelings helps me learn those words too.

15. 5. Take turns chatting back and forth with me. Listen to what I am saying –then imitate my coos or babbles. If I’m older, you can reply to my questions and ask your own. I like open-ended questions that don’t have right or wrong answers. 6. Model bigger and better sentences. If I say, “Two cat,” you can say, “You have two cats on your shirt!” I learn a lot from you.

16. 7. Sing with me. It’s easier to learn words in songs. I can learn about rhymes, the ABC song, the colors of my clothing, and the names of my friends. 8. Take me to the library. Read me a book, let me decide how you do it and when we are done. Let me mouth board books, handle them and decide which to explore. Check out the thrift store and buy me a few board books (wipe them with a damp cloth). At home, attach felt tabs to them, and I will be able to turn the pages more easily, all by myself.

17. 9. Make books about me. When I see myself in a book, I will learn that books can be about things in my life. 10. Show me the words on things. When you point out words in books and on containers, I begin to understand how printed and spoken words are connected.

18. 11. Be playful while I learn: I like to ask you what shape the cookie cutter alphabet has made. You can say, "You made the letter L," or ask, "I wonder what letter you made?" It’s less fun to be asked, “What’s this?” 12. Give me time to learn and explore. There’s no rush to learn the names of colors, letters, and things. I will learn them in my own time.
