Play based on reading, writing, but NOT arithmetic! Linguistic play is perfect for children who love language - written and oral. They learn best through books, crosswords, and listening to recordings. Play can include anything that focuses on written words, like word board games; or oral words, like story telling sessions or books on tape. Linguistic play will improve listening skills, allow for word creation and association, and benefit overall language skills. So, keep their lips loving to learn language!
