Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher engages the toddler in simple back‑and‑forth ball play using developmentally appropriate strategies. Notice how the teacher models actions like “throw” and “catch,” uses short, familiar phrases, and slows the pace of the interaction while giving toddler time to respond and participate, an example of providing age‑appropriate instruction.
