How to talk to Toddlers: and why it matters

Talking with toddlers to build their future language and literacy skills can be difficult for some teachers. Talking with children not only increases their ability to use and understand language, but also builds brain development.

This training will focus on how to engage in back and forth conversations with toddlers.  Teachers will be provided with examples of how to talk with toddlers and practice their verbal and non-verbal interactions.

Participants will leave the training with knowledge about why talking with children is important.
