4-20-00 Question 32
Dear Preschool Teacher,
I'm in a Child Care class over at Bedford Science and Technology
center in Virginia, where we watch little children ages 3 and 4.
For a grade, we have to have a file box with ten subjects and index cards.
The purpose of this is so we can write activities on them and so if we are
in the lab with the children, and we don't have an activity planned for that
day, we can look on the card and do that activity. One of the subjects is
language and I though of a couple of things, but I can't think of/find
anything else. The things I thought of was to make and alphabet book,
an animal book, and color letters of the alphabet and cutting them out and
spell out words that they know. I was wondering if you could help me
by giving me some ideas or web sites. I would surely appreciate it if
you could help me.
Thanks for your time,
Language activities?
Dear Language activities?,
One of the activities I did when I was a student
teacher to help develop language skills in my preschoolers, was to have the
children tell you a story (made up) and you write down what they said on
different sheets of paper (which became their book), and then have them
color pictures according to what they said, and put that all together as
their class book.
Also, if you go to the Child Fun website and put in
language activities, you will get a bunch of ideas, such as reciting nursery
rhymes to the children. Their web address is: http://www.childfun.com/parents/reader.shtml
Any time you read to children or sing and play music, you
are helping to develop their language skills. So just try and pack
your lesson with stories and lots of music.
For a center, you might have books that they can tell you
about.

Dear Language
activities?,
A few things that I can think of are making a book out of
a book that you have read, folder games, making puppets coordinating them
with a book or have children make up a story, ABC flash cards, any flash
cards with the language them, felt characters and books coordinating the
story. I hope some of these ideas work for you.
