To effectively teach oral language and listening comprehension, we need high talk and high-quality talk. During this workshop, we’ll examine how much talk we need to maximize children’s oral language and listening comprehension development in early childhood education. In other words, we’ll examine how much talk is high talk. Then, we’ll unpack the four Ts that define the characteristics of high-quality talk.

Throughout we’ll experience evidence-based instructional strategies to implement high talk and high-quality talk.
