Beginning in infancy, one of the major cultural tasks for  children is to develop competence in and understanding of  language. Language does not consist only of words,  sentences, and stories; it includes the language of gestures,  facial expressions, images, art, dance, mathematics,  movement, rhythm, and music. 

Communication skills and literacy development play an  essential role in all domains of learning. 

Between birth and age three, children begin communicating  through sounds, gestures and emotions and move to convey  ideas, thoughts and feelings through beginning language. 

Assist Learners by building on what the young child may  already know in his/her primary language. 

An environment filled with spoken and printed language  supports building children’s language skills. 

Typically when very young children are surrounded by  people talking or who talk with them, they begin to repeat  what they hear and imitate conversations. Early language  and literacy experiences are the building blocks for life-long  learning.
