Share at least three examples of how educators can extend language use and development in the early childhood setting. Provide a reference or link to a source that supports your ideas. Include the following:

• Age group of children
• Educator supported peer interactive experiences
• Educator-student exchanges in one-on-one or small group situations
• Educator-led large group activities/experiences that involve the whole class

Provide additional examples and ideas that your peer had not considered using the post below:

3-5 year old

• Educator supported peer interactive experiences

The teacher could have family style dining, ask open-ended questions to encourage conversation and peer interaction.

• Educator-student exchanges in one-on-one or small group situations

The teacher and the student could read books together, or have a small group of children and engage in a activity where there is talking and exchanging ideas.

• Educator-led large group activities/experiences that involve the whole class

We could do music and movement activity where we are taking turns or a guessing game
