Area Tested: Oral Language
Verbal skills - grammatical check - your child is asked to look at a picture within the book and tell what is happening on the page. We are listening for sentence structure and clarity while making association to what the picture may be about (does your child communicate in complete sentences and train of thought, etc.)
Activities to strengthen verbal skills:
1. Sings songs
2. Use full sentences, require responses in full sentences
Mom: "Would you like some more milk?"
Child: "Yes I'd like more milk please."
As compared to
Mom: "More milk?"
Child: "Yeah."
3. Go on a "picture walk" through a book. Have your child predict what will happen in the story by looking at the pictures before reading.
4. Let your child talk on the phone and practice the back and forth skills of conversation
5. Encourage language with a tape recorder
