“I’m very rarely beyond words, and I am right now”
John ‘O’ Hurley
Learning new words help in creating new bonds and skills. Communication in the spoken/verbal form is developed during the early stage of life. It is an important and integral part of the child’s overall development. This helps the child to interact with the world outside, develops thinking ability, triggers imagination and express himself/herself in a better manner. Learning new words should be consistent and continuous.
Lack of communication skills could have adverse effects on the child’s behaviour wherein he/she may exhibit withdrawal, be frustrated or lose interest in learning, etc. We can help the child by identifying their needs at the right time and facilitating them to cope up. Different ways can be used to help them overcome their verbal barriers in communication and to be at par with their peers. Learning can be made exciting in numerous ways and not by the obsolete ways of mugging up words. There are plenty of activities involving Phonics, stories, comprehension and many more that can help children to learn. As each child is unique and different from others, different techniques are used differently for each child to make verbal communication spontaneous and fun and reach out to them beyond words….
