Modifications Challenge Encourage children to participate in peer-to-peer conversations about sharing, with each child taking two turns in the conversation. Remind children that while one person is talking, the other is listening. Support Have children talk about what they see in the picture. Invite them to say what each person is doing. Then, ask them if they think one person is letting the other person use or have something. Multilingual Learners Young children are, in many ways, better at learning a new language than adults. Parents, for example, may be afraid that they will say something in English incorrectly. Young children, on the other hand, are less inhibited and willing to take risks. Create a stress-free environment in which children enjoy trying out new words, one where their home language and English are both celebrated. Focus Attention OR EC3-5_TC_Eng_Lang_T2W03.indd 2 14/11/19 1:48 PM Weekly Sampler 978-1-338-64639-9 EC_StrategyCards_ENG.indd 2 12/6/19 10:24 AM Preschoolers need to learn how to sustain attention during classroom activities. You can encourage attention by repeating the questions for each card and asking children to repeat the question. Improving children’s receptive vocabulary (listening comprehension) will help them sustain attention. Try and increase children’s vocabulary each week, using new vocabulary every day and providing safe opportunities to use those words on their own.
