Learning Through Play
• Teaches how things work.• Teaches how to interact and
share with other children.• Allows children to enter a
world of imagination.• Allows children to test things
in a safe way.• Teaches about emotions
and to talk with others.• Allows for experimenting
with art.• Promotes imaginary play.

Four Stages of Fine Motor Development
• Whole arm• Whole hand• Pincher• Pincer
coordination
![Page 9: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Activities That Promote Fine Motor Development
• Whole arm– Under the table art– Ribbons and rings– Stir it up
• Whole hand– Sponge squeeze– Lid match– Cornmeal sifting
![Page 10: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Activities That Promote Fine Motor Development
• Pincher– Button drop– Color transfer– Using tongs
• Pincer– Capture the cork– Locks and keys– Clip it

Fine Motor Skills
• Writing progress depends largely on the development of fine motor skills involving small muscle movements of the hand.
• Muscle development for writing is a comprehensive process that begins with movements of the whole arm and progresses toward very detailed fine motor control at the fingertips.

Verbal Communication 12 months will use two
words skillfully. 18 months will string
together two word phrases. 24 - 30 months will use 50
to 70 words, make two to three word sentences and can be understood half the time.
36 months will carry on a simple conversation and use three to four word sentences. Will use between 300 and 1000 words.
![Page 13: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Three Skills For
Communication
Development
•Understanding•Interaction•Listening
![Page 14: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Learning Through Understanding
• Key to talking and learning.• Children need to understand what single
words mean and when words are joined together into sentences.
![Page 15: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Suggested Understanding Activities
• Instruction Time. Children need to wait for you to say “go” and when you do they can run around, but must stop when you say “stop” and clap your hands. Can be modified to hop, jump, or any other gross motor activity. Can be done with music.
• Do what I say. Can be done with a puppet giving instructions.
![Page 16: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Learning Through Interaction• Learning the skills of interaction is really
important for having good conversations.• We need to learn when to talk, and when
to listen, how to take turns, how to notice if someone is not listening or bored with what we are saying. We need words to do this, but also skills in looking, listening and noticing people around us.
![Page 17: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Suggested Interaction Activities
• Playing simple games that require taking turns.
• Story Time. Share a story and predict what might happen next listening and looking at the pictures.
• Get down to the same level as the child.• Talk about what is happening in a book,
on TV, or what you are observing.
![Page 18: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Learning Through Listening
Listening is an essential skill for
talking and learning.
![Page 19: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Suggested Listening Activities• Listening treasure box. Collect lots of
things that make a noise. Explore and listen and talk about them.
• Spot the mistake. Sing a rhyme or song and make a mistake. Did the child hear the mistake?
• Go game. Build a tower of blocks, have a race, roll the ball, and make child wait to hear “Go” before acting.
![Page 20: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ways to Enhance Language Development
• Reading Predictable Books. Predictable books are books that are written in a way that makes it easy to guess what will happen on the next page. Children learn pre-reading skills. (Read top to bottom, left to right and turning pages. Learn story has beginning, middle and end)
• Children learn rhyme and rhythm• Children learn inflection.

Books For Infants and Toddlers• High-contrast books.
Simple bold images. Possibly no words.
• Board books• Repetitive text books.
Children feel like they are the reader.
• Activity books. Peek-a-boo or sensory touch.
• Bedtime books.
![Page 23: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Pre-Reading Skills• Children exposed to language early in life have
social and educational advantages over their peers. Reading in one of the best ways to expose children to language.
• Read to your child as often as you can. Try to have at least one reading time each day.
• Encourage independence by offering a selection of books and ask your child to choose one.
• Ready slowly to promote understanding.• Read expressively using different voices for
characters and raising/lowering your voice.
![Page 24: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pre-Reading Skills Continued• Use puppets, finger plays, or props while you
read.• Encourage your toddler to clap or sing while
you read sing-song books.• Talk about the illustrations – point to items
and name them. Ask your child to name them with you.
• Ask open-ended questions like ”Why do you think the lion is going into the woods?” or “What do you think will happen next?”

Problem Solving 12 months will begin to hold an item in each hand, and clap
the toys together. 18 months will drop several small toys into a container. 24 months will see a crumb in a small, clear bottle, and child
will turn over the bottle to dump out the crumb. 36 months will watch four objects being lined up and will
imitate and also line up four object in a row.

Did You Know Music Is Beneficial:
• Because it is often shared with others in singing, dancing, and playing instruments together, it is often a social experience?
• Develops physical skills through movement, finger plays, body awareness, and bilateral coordination (crossing the midline)?
• Develops cognitive skills through counting songs, rhyme and repetition, steady beat, and memory?
• Assisting the development of language and literacy through spoken language, receptive language and phonemic awareness?

Early Childhood Education
Brain science tells us the most significant learning begins at birth, not kindergarten. To improve K-12, we must create a seamless system that supplies elementary schools with children ready to learn, and that means early childhood education – not babysitting.
![Page 33: Mops presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052412/559464ef1a28ab464a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Statistics• By the time an average child whose parents are
on welfare reaches age 4, she has heard 32 million fewer words than a child of professional parents according to a 1995 study by researchers at the University of Kansas.
• Kindergarten teachers when surveyed about which skills are most important for entering kindergartners to experience success, teachers gave as their top answers abilities like self-care, and motor skills, followed closely by self-regulation.

Soft SkillsIn a measure of self-regulation called the Head-to-Toes Task, preschool and kindergarten age children are instructed to touch their toes when
asked to touch their head, and to touch their head when asked to touch their toes. This simple task combine three core elements of
self-regulation: attention, working memory, and impulse control. Young children who
performed well on this task in the Fall had markedly higher test scores in math and
reading the next Spring.
