Supporting Language Development

Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher engages a small group of infants in a bubble play experience. Notice how the teacher uses descriptive language to narrate the infants’ actions and reactions by saying, “Look at your face, you’re excited,” “They’re falling down from the sky,” and “Bubbles make you happy.” The teacher encourages communication by asking questions, responding to infant vocalizations, and talking about the shared experience of catching and watching bubbles –an example of using a variety of age-appropriate techniques consistent with state early learning guidelines to support communication and language development.
