Episode two of the Podcast explores the connection between language and literacy. In this episode we share definitions of language and literacy, discuss how the early milestones of both language and literacy are related, and talk about why a strong language foundation is essential for later literacy development. We finish up with a short segment on Thinking Stems, which is a strategy that can be used to engage your children or students in deeper critical thinking related to language and literacy experiences. Thanks for tuning in! (Content Rating: Intermediate).
