Description
Using books to enhance a child’s understanding and increase his/her expressive language
You can use a book to expand a child’s
• vocabulary (stream, feast, log pile, poisonous, rumble, scrambled)
• understanding of concepts (e.g. quick, favourite, good, dark, scariest)
• ability to understand questions
This script and other available scripts have been based on Marion Blank’s Model of Classroom Language. Marion Blank recognised the importance of keeping questions and statements within a child’s level of understanding. The more concrete the statement or question, the easier it will be for the child to understand. As questions become more abstract, they become harder for children to answer. The Blank Model is divided into 4 levels of questioning, moving from the concrete (easiest) at Level 1 to the abstract (most difficult) at Level 4.
