During the preschool years, children experience great strides in their ability to use language. This booklet and companion videotape help teachers and parents recognize and support six High/Scope key experiences in language and literacy: (1) talking with others about personally meaningful experiences; (2) describing objects, events, and relations; (3) having fun with language; (4) writing in various ways; (5) reading in various ways; and (6) dictating stories. The booklet discusses each key experience, delineates ways teachers and parents can support children in skills development, and includes a teacher strategy checklist and a list of language and literacy materials. The 60-minute videotape shows adults how they can use the key experiences as a framework to support young children's language and literacy learning. In the first part of the videotape, the narrator introduces each of the key experiences, illustrated with footage of children and teachers in a variety of High/Scope classrooms, designed to help viewers identity key experiences and increase awareness of strategies, such as observing children closely to understand what they are doing and helping children solve problems that arise as they carry out their ideas. The second part of the videotape shows five unnarrated, extended video scenes from High/Scope classrooms as in-depth examples of how key experiences unfold in everyday play situations, such as going to a wedding, reading a story, and making a present. The accompanying viewer guide describes the videotape content, provides a checklist of teacher strategies, and lists additional resources. (KB)
