  • Children’s conversational styles
  • The roles caregivers play
  • Knowing how and why children communicate and how we can more effectively support them
  • Strategies we can use to encourage interaction and conversation
  • How to use rhymes and stories to help build emergent literacy skills
  • Ways of supporting families as partners in building language skills

Presenter: This workshop will be presented by Bookmates Facilitator, Nancy Tovell.
