"How to stimulate language development in your child?
The language of the child should be considered on two levels: the spoken language and the written language. There are several ways to stimulate each of them.
The first is to read him stories and books. You can start to take him to the library and help choose books starting at the age of three years. Introduce him to the librarian and help him become the librarian's friend.
It is surprising how few parents attending the library know their children's librarian. (If there is one librarian, she will also guide you to choose children's books.)
A librarian can provide considerable assistance to teach a child to discover all the richness of a library and help them feel at home.
Make a habit of going regularly to the library to borrow books. (Keep in mind that young children have difficulty understanding the need to make Ausi books are understanding and patient: a child hurts the difference between buying a book and borrow it for two weeks.) "
Introduction to reading and writing
"It took 25 years so that in Québec awakening to reading and writing of the young child becomes a major concern of our rulers and thus promotes its penetration into all of our educational system, family and community . The awakening to reading and writing begins when the child can neither read nor write, not even in an unconventional way. This suggests that reading and writing begin in the child's life long before he attends school. The statement also indicates that the school has no monopoly to facilitate the developmentof this know-how.
This awareness of the importance of written abilities develops in a more or less happy way, depending on the influences that the child receives from his family, his social background and his entire environment. These influences enable him informally to acquire knowledge and develop skills in written communication. "
