We’re starting to post weekly updates to the LanguageComp website. This week’s video shows a student orally rehearsing. Watch closely; it’s fascinating to see how many crafting techniques he uses-before he’s even written his first review. Enjoy! languagecomp.com/oral-rehearsal

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach of us more than we can ever learn from books. John Lubbock

Research shows that play is one of the best ways to help children learn.

Excited to announce this unique classroom and workshop learning experience with myself, Kath Murdoch @kjinquiry and Megan Holmstrom. Information available at inquiryinaction.com. Registration now open. (limited to 63 participants).

Ever feel like you’re being watched? 👀 If you’re a significant figure in the life of a young child, this feeling isn’t paranoia. In fact, “watched” doesn’t really begin cover it. You’re being STUDIED. From your tone of voice, to the language you use, to your very physicality, your baby is picking up on even the subtlest of cues. Their goal: to be more like you with each passing day. This video’s quality isn’t fantastic, but its lesson surely is. Watch how flawlessly (and joyfully) this little one manages to mimic Grandpa. It’s a big responsibility for sure - but important that you recognize in advance that your baby is always watching, listening, and learning. Even before you might think they are. So be a conscious role model and never assume your baby is too young to be soaking in the things you say and do. This fantastic little mimic was shared to IG by insan.insan.derler.

Most of what children need to learn during their early childhood years cannot be taught; it's discovered through play. ~ Ruth Wilson.

Children still need a childhood with dirt, mud, puddles, trees, sticks and tadpoles. ~ Brook Hampton.

If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn. ~ Ignacio Estrada
