LANGUAGE CONTINUED
Language is created through speech.
There are two distinct areas of language:
Receptive Language - what we hear and
understand from others speech or gestures
(Spivey, 2013). Listening and understanding
are receptive language skills.
Expressive Language - the words we use to
create messages others will understand (Spivey,
2013). Speaking and communicating are
expressive language skills.
Dear Families,
In this weeks newsletter I want to review with
you the difference between speech and language
and examine the four domains of language.
Among the most important tasks of the first
five years of life is the development of language.
Childrens language ability affects learning and
development in all areas. Language strongly
predicts later success in learning to read and
write. Children who are skilled communicators
are likely to demonstrate better social competent
and school readiness, (Head Start, 2009).
Speech
Speech is the sound that comes out of your
mouth to form words. It is the physical act of
moving air through your vocal chords to produce
sound (Spivey, 2013).
Language
Language is reading, writing, listening, and
speaking. It can also be communicating through
sign language, body language, or gestures
(Spivey, 2013).
