Provide Age-Appropriate Instruction
Resource Description:
Age Group: Toddler
Resource Category: Exemplar
Credential Level: Level 2
Competency Area: Learning Environments, Planning Framework, Curriculum, and Standards
In this exemplar video, a teacher asks the toddler a simple question about the picture before reading and pauses, giving the child time to respond at their developmental level. Notice how the teacher uses patient wait time and encourages brief back‑and‑forth conversation—an example of age‑appropriate instruction aligned with early learning standards. The teacher’s approach supports emergent literacy skills by promoting comprehension, vocabulary growth, and early reading behaviors in ways that match what toddlers are expected to practice according to curriculum and developmental guidelines.
