4- What strategies do you use to help students strengthen children’s interpersonal skills?
5- What steps do you follow in planning for instruction with preschool children?
1. Engage children in conversations. It is important to speak with children (whether a child has language already or not). Listen to what a child talks about and participate in the conversation to support children’s experiences and interests.
2. Make children talk about what they are doing. An adult can ask questions that will make a child answer using higher-level thinking.
Example: The question “Do you want to play with the truck?” that will lead a child to simply answer “yes.” Instead, the better way to ask a question is, “Which toy do you like to play with?” that will lead a child to answer “the truck.”
This way, I will extend children’s language.
3. Engage children in interactive reading. Instead of just read the book for a child, ask questions before, throughout, and after the book is read.
