Topic: Teachers' Language

10-second review: How does a teacher’s language affect students’ learning? “Early childhood teachers understand that ‘What is the sound at the end of the word’ assumes that the child knows the concepts letter, word, sound, and end (or left-right progression of letters).”


Source: I do not know where I found that quote, but I thought it was worth bringing to your attention. RayS.


Comment: The point is the teacher cannot assume that the student understands what is meant by the words “ending sound” and all that is implied by that term. RayS.
