Join Professor Lois Wachtel in this edWebinar as she discusses early childhood developmental milestones, through the eyes of a child, particularly an English language learner (ELL) child. Those who work with three- and four-year-old children, or will do so soon, will have the opportunity to take a closer look at their growth.

While we know all young children are, in fact, amazing individuals, can you recall the vast amount of growth that is taking place in their world on a regular basis? At what age can we expect young children to be able to answer a simple question, name familiar colors, throw a ball, or demonstrate simple problem-solving skills?

Discover all this and more in this recorded Webinar that will give you a well-rounded perspective of how young children are building language, physical, cognitive, social-emotional, and motor development skills. Specific examples are provided with ELLs in mind. Watch for this journey as we look at early life and learning through the eyes of an ELL child.

This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preK-3 teachers and librarians.
