Children can learn so much through play, and language is so naturally a part of play. Therefore, I love to work on developing language skills through fun play activities. It is even better if the play activities that the children are engaged in are related to the classroom curriculum. That is why I have chosen themed play sets such as the Pretend & Play Work Belt & Tool Set and the Learning Resources Pretend & Play Animal Hospital. I will use these to teach the children vocabulary about the thematic unit and to encourage more communication. Another fantastic way to increase language skills for preschool children is using book sets that have pictures/manipulatives to go with them, such as Lakeshore Storytelling Kits - Set 2. Having pictures and manipulatives keeps the children engaged and provides opportunities for additional learning activities to go along with the book. With these materials, I can impact so many preschool children and work on increasing their language skills in ways that are fun and engaging!
