Language
The activities in this
area are designed to move the child from the concrete (objects) to the
abstract (letters) as well as encourage the creative use of language. Focus is on the development of
an extensive vocabulary, listening skills and auditory discrimination skills
essential for each child to acquire before s/he can learn to read or
write. Each task moves the child closer to reading and/or writing
independently as soon as s/he is able and interested.
