A What, Why, How, resource to encourage and develop a love for oral language, for stories and games. There are ideas on how to make language "come alive" so young children begin to be excited by what they hear and see. Children, from an early age, are encouraged to write and read about themselves and their families. Suggestions are provided using the eight SMARTS. (These are based on Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory.) This ensures different types of learning styles are considered. A colourful game for you to make is provided in the centre of this book. From that you can develop your own game with your children. Have Fun!
