Enhancing Language Development in Childhood – Online

Follow your child’s lead and have fun while enhancing language development! In this fun and user-friendly course for parents, teachers, and caregivers, you will discover how children learn to process language and how they become proficient speakers and thinkers. This course will help you enrich your child’s life by stimulating his or her continued speech, brain, and language development in an enjoyable, age-appropriate, and natural way.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop an understanding of the sequence in which a young child’s sentences change and become more complex.
• Learn how the tongue, jaw and lips work to produce sounds of speech.
• Learn how to use sounds in order to help a child increase awareness of what their mouth is doing and also what they hear when they talk.
• Learn about the critical links between language development and learning to read and write.

“I appreciated the knowledge the instructor was able to give in the course. I learned quite a bit of information. I also very much appreciated her writing style, it was not over my head and she kept my interest throughout with her examples. Thank you for making my first on-line class experience a good one.”
