Language Development: Language development includes understanding and communicating through words, spoken, and written. Children are born with the capacity to communicate with others--verbally and non-verbally. By the time they reach preschool, their ability to communicate thoughts and feelings through spoken language takes on new importance. Language becomes the principal tool for establishing and maintaining relationships with adults and other children.
In 4K we use the Jolly Phonics curriculum. Jolly Phonics is a fun and child centered approach to teaching literacy language learning through phonics. With actions and songs for each letter sound, this multi sensory method is very motivating for students.
