Potential
Engage children using language activities to promote language development. Encourage your 3- to 4 -year-old by including her in everyday conversation, explaining routines, asking questions and listening, advises Iowa State's University Extension. Read to your preschooler and give her books to enjoy on her own. You can nurture your 4- to 5-year-old's language development with regular visits to the library, counting and color games, creative storytelling and joke telling, adds the University Extension.
