TALK Friday 9 28 18
I have been reviewing my TALK*posts that started in Summer,
1015, to determine how I might proceed.
There have been 85 posted addressing Language, Literacy, and Learning
for children age Birth to Grade 3. Those
themes include a focus on early language development, the relationship between
language and literacy, the reading/achievement gap, social/emotional learning,
and the relationship between learning success and cognitive/emotional dimension
of learning in general and learning to read in particular. This review will take a while. I hope readers will continue to support and
share these posts.

The
Importance of Conversation as a Tool for Learning
There is a vast
literature on language development and the role that oral language plays in
literacy, thinking, and learning. I am going to use this blog to share
some of that literature, focusing on translating research and theory
into ideas that parents and teachers can use on a daily basis.

Supporting Children's Agency: Involving
Children in Decision Making
National Quality Standard | Information sheet
Genuine decision making
“Sharing the power that adults hold,
and trusting that children are competent decision makers can support children’s
agency.
For example,
educators can:
arrange activities, routines and the physical environment so
that children have a range of opportunities to make choices about what they
will do and how they will do it
provide children with the opportunity to make choices in
circumstances where their decisions will be able to be accepted."
