This webinar will focus on strategies to help children use more complex sentences and vocabulary with their caregivers and peers. Children learn through daily routines and play, but as they grow and explore early education settings, their social worlds expand. Opportunities abound for children to learn as they take turns peeking at the classroom guinea pig, pretend to be police officers on a chase, and read books with a favorite caregiver. We will cover strategies to support growth in language, social communication, and early literacy skills by engaging children in meaningful, everyday activities in early-care settings.

Note that the time listed in this calendar entry is Central Standard Time.

• Name three strategies to help support a child’s growing ability to combine words
