Promoting Pre-Literacy Skills in Infants and Toddlers
About This Course
Many studies over the past decade have shown that the early years, from birth to age 3, form an indelible blueprint for your child's long-term learning success. Early behaviours and skills associated with successful reading development form pre-literacy skills in young children.
Guiding infants and toddlers in language and pre-literacy development is unlike the structure classroom for the pre-schoolers. Before children can read and write, they need to learn about sounds, words, language, books, stories and songs. Teachers play a vital role in helping young children with pre-literacy development.
Through this interactive workshop, educators will learn to use quality interactions to scaffold infants and toddlers in developing their language and pre-literacy skills Participants will gain insights and strategies to plan and support infant and toddlers’ language and pre-literacy skills development through Practical and hands-on activities conducted in the workshop.
