  2. Learning the Native Language • Learning one’s native language is unconscious and intuitive. • It begins in the first few weeks of life, and continues until age five or six. • Young children make associations between the sounds they hear and the actions they see. • Gradually they make sounds, form sounds into words and more complex structures like phrases and sentences. (Carrigan, 2009)

  12. Speaking Skills • Through social interaction of everyday life, children learn how to communicate with others. (Haneda & Wells, 2008)

  13. Speaking Skills of English Language Learners • There is no early language experience in the language used at school • Developing Speaking Skills through the dialogue. (Haneda & Wells, 2008)

  14. International Children’s Digital Library • As families move from country to country, in their new homelands, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to find children's books from their cultures and in their mother tongue.  Children and their families deserve to have access to the books of their culture, as well as the majority culture, regardless of where they live.
