We are deliberate about Language Development

Jabneh Christian Academy , , ,

Language development is stressed in our Early Stimulation Unit.  At Jabneh Christian Academy, we believe that we must deliberately engage in this aspect of our icons’ development since it supports :

  • their ability to community,  express and understand feelings;
  • thinking and problem-solving;
  • the developing and maintaining of relationship;
  • the process of learning  and enjoying language which is a critical step towards literacy;

Three to four-year-old children usually can do the following:

  • understand most of what they hear
  • converse
  • have 900 to 1,000-word vocabularies, with verbs starting to predominate
  • usually talk without repeating syllables or words
  • use pronouns correctly
  • use three to six-word sentences
  • ask questions
  • relate experiences and activities
  • tell stories

Language skills usually blossom between four and five years of age. Children of this age can do the following:

  • verbalize extensively
  • communicate easily with other children and adults
  • articulate most English sounds correctly
  • know 1,500 to 2,500 words
  • use detailed six to eight-word sentences
  • can repeat four-syllable words
  • use at least four prepositions
  • tell stories that stay on topic
  • can answer questions about stories

we are encouraging you to be an active participant in the development of language by trying these few strategies:

  • talk with your child;
  • respond to your child;
  • engage in everyday talk ( talk about their day);
  • introduce new words.
  • have your child picture read to you.
  • read to and with your child.

 

Get Your Child Involved Effortlessly

Jabneh Christian Academy

The kitchen is a fun place but can also be a dangerous place for children.  This particular room in your house can provide many learning experiences and added time with your children.

Expose school age children to the tools and machines in the kitchen.  They have interesting shapes, colours, uses and above all, can make a number of sounds.

Small children can help in the kitchen, if only the adults weren’t so paranoid.  They can help by:

  • washing vegetables
  • washing fruits
  • bagging vegetables and fruits.
  • setting the table
  • washing plastic containers
  • to make healthy cookies
  • to press the buttons on machines like the blender.
  • tasting foods
  • counting out items
  • weighing items
  • restocking items

Try to involve your child in this special room in the home and see how much growth and development can be achieved.

Remember to train them not to taste anything in the kitchen without permission from an adult.
