Start with simple words.
Show an object and say it’s name
Book, Pencil, paper, boy girl, car,
Try not to use contracted names
e.g. bike
Try using simple verbs
Run, walk, eat
Numbers 1 to 10 and then to 20
Then try simple conversation like “my name is….”
“your name is…”

You will be surprised at the wealth of information they have
Treat them like people
Do smaller in scale, activities last for shorter period of time
Repeat often
Music, dancing song learning and singing, learn dance steps too e.g use swimming movements for dancing or any other sport movements
Use the body as instruments
Kite paper, news print, bristol board
crayons, all sizes chalk for art
Look say write
Feeling chart for daily use for the end of the day
Ask them what they would like to do and how
rope of different width for cording
molding with clay or plasticine give a large amount
Story telling?listening time
Hide & Seek vowels, consonants, words, syllables
Free expression using a variety of materials in a box
Art on paper, ground wall
Printing using everything found in the room
Leave work designing,mosaic
