Speaking and Listening Skills - Good communication skills will help lead to success in kindergarten and beyond.
- Encourage your child to share her thoughts and ideas with you. Ask questions that require more than yes or no answers.
- Visit new places and talk about what you are seeing and doing. Make every outing an opportunity for learning new vocabulary.
- Ask your child to tell you about what she did that day.
- Read stories to your child, and as you read, ask questions to help sharpen her listening skills.
- Give your child two- or three-step directions to follow, and ask her to repeat them back to you. For example, "Wash your face, brush your teeth, and choose a book for us to read."
Kindergarten opens up a whole new world of social interactions.
- Provide opportunities for your little one to play with other children.
- Encourage your child to use words to let others know what she wants.
- Play games. Games help children learn how to take turns and how to win and lose.
