Book Details
The foundation of any language is words. In the intellectual development of infants, the ability to generate an infinite number of meaningful sentences depends on the use of words and the rules of the language. This is why child developmentalists agree that good language development in children is important in their educational achievements and advancement in life. Language enhances communication and understanding.
Despite the biological influences on human languages, there is a critical period of language development. This critical period ends in childhood. This is why children who are neglected, abandoned, abused, and not exposed to language from early years rarely learn to speak normally. The poor academic performance of many students in our country has been traced to an inability to comprehend what they were taught.
Early Life Dictionary is indispensable for good language development and usage by children in a country where the English language is the second but official language. It would also be of immense use in countries where the English language is studied as a foreign language, but not necessarily the official language.
This dictionary is specially designed to be used and enjoyed by all children. Pre-schoolers can, however, enjoy the dictionary better when it is read to them and explained by an adult. The dictionary is for children from age three and above. It will teach them the meaning of words as well as help them understand simple spellings. It will assist them in gaining many new words, thereby improving their vocabulary of the English language. This dictionary has been beautifully designed with colorful picture illustrations because research findings have shown that children develop concrete reasoning before the abstract. Humans tend to remember more of what we see than what we hear.
Just like the adult dictionary, the Early Life Dictionary has been arranged in alphabetical order. By using this dictionary, a child comes to terms with the alphabetical arrangement of words thereby increasing their verbal reasoning and the order of word arrangements. This dictionary will promote the child’s ability to use dictionaries which will increase their written and spoken English language.
