Learning Language and Loving It DVD: Promoting Children’s Social, Language, and Literacy
Development in Early Childhood Settings

This easy-to-use DVD shows the vital role of preschool teachers in facilitating children’s social, language and literacy development. As a companion to the Learning Language and Loving It guidebook (Weitzman and Greenberg, 2002) and program, the Learning Language and Loving It DVD demonstrates how teachers can use strategies in play and daily activities to create enriched, interactive language-learning environments that include children who have special needs and language delays, children who are second language learners, as well as children who are typically developing.

User-friendly menus provide quick access to real-life examples that contrast the effective application of strategies with situations where teachers do not apply the strategies, to stimulate discussion, problem solving, and analysis by the viewers.

The DVD is divided into the following areas:
Part 1   Take a closer look at communication
Part 2   Get every child in on the act – so all the children can interact
Part 3   Provide information and experience that promote language and learning
Part 4   Let language lead the way to literacy
