Find 2 online language resources (website, blog, app, etc.). Include the link, a 1-2 line summary of link, and how you might use the resource to support language development.
My first link is http://www.raisingreaders.org/ Raising readers is a program that gives age appropriate beautiful books to children ages 0-5 at their well visits in Maine. Along with the books the web page is fantastic! It has sections for educators, health care providers and parents. It gives great resources about literacy and activities. It talks about brain development and health literacy. I find it to be parent friendly and very informative. And I love that you can search by book for more activities and why Raising Readers chose that book.
My other link is http://www.zerotothree.org/child-development/early-language-literacy/tips-tools-early-lit-and-lang.html zero to three is a non profit organization that provide parents and professionals with resources on development for children ages 0-3. It has information about everything from brain development and nutrition and of course language and literacy. As an educator I would use these resources and the pamphlets are great to print out and give to parents and have discussions about what they can be doing at home.
I love Raising Readers too, I worked on the calendar for several years while working at USM.
Zero to Three is a great resource as well- Allyson Dean (it might be Dr. Dean at this point...), the former Maine Roads to Quality Director at Muskie, USM now works there!
One online website I found is http://childdevelopmentinfo.com/child-development/language_development/. This helpful website has a language development chart. The chart shows what to expect and look for in children at certain ages. This resource could be used to support language development among children because by knowing what to expect, parents and educators can frame what they are doing to prompt the result from the child.
The other resource I found is an article about language development and it was found at http://www.readingrockets.org/article/383. The article provides thoughts on how language is developed, different components of oral language, and how to nurture language development. This resource could be used to develop a quick understanding of how language develops among children. Often, we don’t take the time to read lengthy articles, although they may be helpful. This article is quick, reader-friendly, and straight to the point.
The child development site is new to me, but I love Reading Rockets for their brevity of content- but the breadth and depth of the content is not compromised by the "quick, reader-friendly" format.
Below are two online resources to support language. 1.http://families.naeyc.org/
This is a NAEYC website and it was designed for families who seek appropriate information to support their children's language development. I would introduce this website to the families in our weekly newsletter and I would encourage interested parents to share some information about the website at the Parent Nights. 2.http://www.learnquebec.ca/en/content/professional_development/media_literacy/index.html This website is a professional resource for the innovative teachers and it offers integrated learning activities for the young children. To support literacy in my classroom, I would apply the information I learn from this website directly to my work with young children.
As an early childhood educator I would use this resource as a way to keep myself up to date with research and resources that are available on this website. This website offers a wide variety of videos, and articles available to educators or parents.
I found this article very interesting and informational as a head start teacher working with English Language learners. I just completed my first year working with children who are learning English as a second language and honestly, I don’t have any trainings or anything like that so I have made it my goal for next year to do some research and implement different techniques and what not to help myself and the children. I found this a great resource and very informational, it offers multiple resources at the bottom of the article as well.
The first website is http://families.naeyc.org/. We used this a lot at the beginning of the year for the parents at my old school. We talked about it on parent night, had some handouts in our packet and quoted and used it in our newsletters.
http://www.dailymontessori.com/. I found some useful articles that would be nice for the parents to read as well at the teaching staff. From what I noticed the website changes the articles frequently and had some great literacy based articles that support language both at home and in the school environment.
Website #1. www.pbs.org/parents/education/reading-language/reading-milestones/baby-language-development-milestones/ This website teaches parents as well as caregivers on tricks to use to help young toddlers develop a love of language and books. As an educator, I would recommend this website to any parents who might be a little concern about their child language development, and how to get their child to enjoy reading. Website # 2. www.ehsnrc.org/informationalResources/ResourceArticles/rmind.htm This website is from the Maine infant & Toddlers Guidelines for learning development. This website teaches caregivers on ways to provide infants with a close and responsive relationships by designing safe and interesting and developmentally appropriate environments, giving infants uninterrupted time to explore, as well as interacting with infants in ways that emotionally and intellectually support their initiation in discovery and learning." ( Infant and Toddlers Early Leaning Guideline). I would recommend this website to any new caregivers who are new to the Early Childhood Department to use this website and the articles written under this website as one of the resource.
http://thelittlestories.com Kim Rowe, MA, CCC-SLP, a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist. Her blog offers stories that are heartfelt, relatable, honest and up to date on current research. She is also Hanen certified which was something that is new to me and I wanted to learn a little more about. She has coaching for parents and professionals. I certainly would not hesitate to contact her if I had concerns regarding a specific child or scenario and would feel confident in the i information she provided.
http://www.playingwithwords365.com This is a great blog I found that is also easy to navigate and read through. It caught my attention because of the focus in toddlers and what to expect during this time of development. Many parents and caregivers grow concerned when comparing their child's communication and vocabulary to that of their peers. It is important to note that every child will differ on when and what they decide to track about. I would give this blog as a resource for parents to reassure them that they can feel confident about their child's development. However, if they still do not feel satisfied, their are links associated with the blog if you have questions on what to expect from contacting a speech therapist.
One online resource I found to be beneficial not only as a teacher but to parents too is http://www.naeyc.org/tyc/links/languagearts. There are a whole bunch of different suggestions, book list and information in this website that are very helpful when wanting information on language arts. Another website I found that is a good resource ishttp://www.raisingreaders.org/ it has a lot of information for parents, healthcare and educators. It provides useful information as to what books to read, how to form a literacy rich environment and activities that reinforce and are beneficial to literature experiences.
The first online language resource I chose is http://families.naeyc.org/learning-and-development. This offers materials for both parents and educators on many different topics dealing with children. The second online language resource I chose is raisingreaders.org. This website offers so many materials for parents, educators, and also healthcare professionals. The Raising Readers program is absolutely fantastic and this website offers book suggestions, a blog, and much more.
Website Name: Early Childhood Research and Practice Description: This website offers journals and articles about emerging trends and information about the development of young children. Application: As a teacher, this website would help me keep abreast with current, developmentally appropriate practices, and it would enhance the quality of care and education I provide young children. Link: www.ecrp.uiuc.edu/v15n2/index.html
Website Name: Zero to Three Description: This website provides information for early childhood professionals, parents and policy-makers regarding how infants and toddlers develop. It also offers strategies for addressing a variety of needs that these children might have. Application: I could refer to the articles which cover a wide range of topics, such as rest-time for toddlers and mental health issues. Link: http:www.zerotothree.org
http://families.naeyc.org/learning-and-development/reading-writing/12-ways-support-language-development-infants-and-toddlers I choose this article because it is a simple reminder to us how to intentionally talk and communicate with young children. It is also something I would share with parents to remind them how to incorporate these experiences into their daily lives/ routines.
http://www.earlylearning.nc.gov/_pdf/strategies.language.communication.pdf This is an awesome tool I found with tips for early educators and families. It gives many different suggestions to improve receptive language, expressive language, foundations for reading, and writing. So many great ideas to improve your environment/ materials or refresh your knowledge
That's funny I picked the same article about infants and toddlers. I thought it was a good reminder for us but also great for parents. I should probably have looked at the posts first.
This blog post has a lot of really good information about breaking down how to teach children to listen, read, speak, and write. I would use ideas from this blog to help me design language lessons for my classroom.
This website would be a great resource because it breaks down what types of books to use with infants, toddlers, and preschool children. The site also has a huge list of genres and a book list under each genre. I would use this resource to help me develop my personal children's book library to be used in the classroom.
Website Name: K12 Reader Reading Instruction Resources for Teachers and Parents Website address: http://www.k12reader.com Description: This website has some good articles on different Reading Instructions and Strategies. I also like that it has resources for Teachers and Parents to use for Reading Comprehension and Spelling. A great go between resource for Teachers to use in their classrooms and then to send information home with the children so that they can continue working with this website at home with their parents! I would use this in my classroom and share the information with my students parents.
The second website----
Website Name: Get ready to Read Website address: http://www.getreadytoread.org/early-learning-childhood-basics/early-literacy Description: This website has some really good articles and it also has some videos about early literacy. Then from this website you can also go to the top toolbar and browse through a Kindergarten toolkit, Skill building activities that you could use in the classroom or give the website information to the students parents so that the children could have extra practice at home. The last section is Early Learning and Childhood Basics which is a section of articles which I would probably print out the articles and then send them home to parents if they wanted them.

I've never heard about Learn Quebec and will be looking at the website shortly. Anyone else ever used this resource?
DeleteThe Hanen site has many great articles- I hope those of you new to Hanen will check it out!
