Little Voices, Big Thinkers: Early Language Comprehension for Lifelong Learning
This course equips early childhood educators with essential knowledge and practical strategies for nurturing the oral language comprehension skills that form the foundation for later reading comprehension. Language comprehension is the ability to understand spoken language, build vocabulary, make inferences, and construct meaning. It develops years before children begin decoding written words. The course explores developmentally appropriate approaches to building the language comprehension strands of Scarborough’s Reading Rope, including background knowledge, vocabulary, language structures, verbal reasoning, and literacy knowledge. Through evidence-based instructional techniques, interactive read-alouds, purposeful conversations, and hands-on activities, educators will gain the tools needed to support young children in becoming powerful thinkers, communicators, and future readers.
