Benefits for Educators and Consultants
This Teacher Talk workbook gives you practical, easy-to-apply strategies for promoting the language development of all children in your classroom – including those who are quieter or may be falling behind. The strategies are designed to help you “supercharge” your interactions with children during everyday activities and routines in order to have the greatest possible impact for all children. Unlike a guidebook containing information only, this workbook supports your learning further by allowing you to personalize the content and plan how you will use it.
