EARLY CHILDHOOD
GRADE RANGE PreK
PreK On My Way: Language welcomes every child into the classroom, building on their language and vocabulary strengths as they take the first steps on their learning adventure! In partnership with the Children’s Learning Institute at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Scholastic has built upon the successful research model known as Developing Talkers/Hablemos Juntos, which has produced significant growth in children’s vocabulary skills. Developed in consultation with Tricia Zucker, Ph.D., and Maria Carlo, Ph.D., the researchers behind the Developing Talkers model, PreK On My Way: Language provides evidence-based instructional routines that boost oral language skills and conceptual knowledge to ensure that every child has the skills and confidence they’ll need to succeed in elementary school and beyond!
