Technology can be another resource among a wide variety of possibilities.
Language Development and Emerging Literacy Literacy skills increase as children make connections with supportive adults and as conversations take place between children as they play. Technology can support language development in easy and simple ways. Linking Words to Pictures Children can connect an object on the screen with its written label in the same way that picture books are used. Newer computers and software may also provide spoken text options, where the word or phrase is spoken aloud. Creating a Story Children can create stories with the help of an adult, either on paper or using a computer.
