cuppy cake is on a distinguished road
Default

2.1 - words and levels of language used (different language and words for babies compared to 3 and 4 year olds)
- questions (important part in stimulating and extending childrens speech, show you are interested in what child is doing/thinking)
-rhetorical quns (useful when working with babies and toddlers as helps adults sustain commentary whilst busy with a child who may not be able to say very much, helps babies and toddlers to feel included as long as eye contact is kept throughout by both parties)
-closed questions (closed quns=short answers eg yes no, good for babies and toddlers so they can feel part of the decision making and for children who do not yet feel comfortable with adult yet)
-open qun (longer answers, help children to think more about what they are going to say)
hope this helps get u started x
