Language: Encourage conversation, discussion of topics of interest and value, story-telling. With models of correct grammar and idiomatic English in earlier childhood, there will be little incorrect language to correct.
Increase vocabulary especially by descriptive words in story-telling.
Continue models of distinct enunciation, well-modulated voice.
Encourage rhyming; do not ridicule or make light of rhymes.
Spontaneous dramatizing of stories; permit freedom, and absence of self-consciousness in expression; avoid criticism of technique or form of expression.
Teach colloquial expressions, poems, songs, from foreign language, with pure accent.
Avoid forcing of interest in reading, writing, or number; prohibit for nervous child; discourage for bookish child, and supply more real interests. For normal, active children, assist spontaneous interest, in short periods, with careful regard for hygiene of eyes.
