Language

In the classroom, language is seen as the means of communication between two or more people. With that in mind, materials and lessons are prepared for speaking, writing, and reading. Teachers prepare classroom environments rich with a variety of materials and meaningful objects so there is plenty of opportunity for rich, meaningful language to occur. Spoken language is the foundation for writing and reading, for without it, children won’t have things to write about. Without understanding the thoughts of others, children won’t be able to comprehend what they are reading.
