From helping the child understand what is going on around them, to communicating their basic needs and feelings, developing relationships, solving problems, and more, there is a lot that language development in children can help with. Since the beginning of the pandemic, however, with access to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"play schools (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/\" target=\"_blank\">play schools<\/a> being restricted, language development has regressed for a sizeable number of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact remains, that both parents and teachers can play a rather significant role in helping to support &amp; improve language development outcomes. Before looking at some of the strategies that can be followed in improving language development, it will be worthwhile to look at what is language development in early childhood, particularly when it comes to preschoolers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/language-development-in-children-and-how-you-can-support-it\/#What_is_Language_Development_in_Early_Childhood\" title=\"What is Language Development in Early Childhood?\">What is Language Development in Early Childhood?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/language-development-in-children-and-how-you-can-support-it\/#Strategies_to_Support_Language_Development\" title=\"Strategies to Support Language Development\">Strategies to Support Language Development<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/language-development-in-children-and-how-you-can-support-it\/#1_Be_a_role_model\" title=\"1.

While TV or computer games can be educational, they cannot replace the learning the child gets from adult interaction. Below are some handy strategies that can be put into use to encourage language development in preschoolers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Be_a_role_model\"><\/span>1. Be a role model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There isn\u2019t a better way for children to learn than by copying adults. Be sure therefore to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Speak clearly and slowly so that the child can follow you.<\/li><li>Use short sentences.<\/li><li>Model the right pronunciation and sentence structure.<\/li><li>Tempting as it may be, avoid using baby words for objects, parts of the body, and more.<\/li><li>Make appropriate signs or actions that help them to understand the meaning of your words.<\/li><li>Offer enough opportunities for them to respond to you.<\/li><li>Do not interrupt them as they speak. Frequent corrections as they try to speak can turn out to become a big demotivator. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Have_Conversations\"><\/span>2. Have Conversations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure you have conversations with the child as that is the best way to expose them to vocabulary, sentence structures, and more. To make conversations impactful, you can build on what the child says. So, for example, if the child points to his toy car, it will help to say \u201cyes that is a red car\u201d. Similarly describing to the child what you are doing can become small coachable moments to teach the child language as well as life skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Read_Read_Read\"><\/span>3. Read, Read, Read<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is nothing quite as effective as reading aloud to children in the early years. Along with the child\u2019s favorite books try and read a wide variety of books for them to be exposed to different storylines and vocabulary. It will help to use intonation as well as point out words as you read them. It is also a great idea to allow children to guess what will happen in the story next or to even finish sentences for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Games\"><\/span>4. Games<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Games can be yet another opportunity for making great conversations, besides bonding with the child. From getting the child to describe a hidden object to playing I spy, there is a world of options. Pretend Play is yet another game that can spark a lot of conversation. You can also get the child to dress up as a character from their favorite book and speak like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/LANGUAGE-DEVELOPMENT-2.jpg\" alt=\"improve language development\" data-id=\"3525\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/?attachment_id=3525\" class=\"wp-image-3525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/LANGUAGE-DEVELOPMENT-2.jpg 718w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/LANGUAGE-DEVELOPMENT-2-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Rhymes\"><\/span>5.

Number rhymes also introduce children to numbers, patterns, and sequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They not only help the child to differentiate sounds and learn new words, going forward they also prepare the child to learn to read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the many advantages that rhymes offer, include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Learning new words and building vocabulary<\/li><li>Identifying different rhythms<\/li><li>Developing listening skills<\/li><li>Recognizing repeated sound patterns<\/li><li>Improving coordination, and more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Sum_Up\"><\/span>To Sum Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a language-rich environment is the key to language development in children.
