    What Are the Four Areas of Child Development?

    1. Cognitive development includes thinking, inormation processing, problem solving,remembering, decision making, understanding concepts, and overall intelligence.

    2. Physical development is rapid ollowing birth as children learn to control large and thensmall muscle groups. The sequence o stages is important, and providing an environmentchildren can physically explore while they are growing is critical to all ages.

    3. Language development is most intensive during the frst three years while the brainis developing rapidly and is stimulated most by exposure to sights, sounds, and beingtalked to.

    4. Social/emotional development is critical to all other areas o development, because howchildren perceive their world (their ability to give and accept love, be confdent and secure,show empathy, be curious and persistent, and relate well to others) aects how the brainphysically develops and how they learn and process inormation.

    The Learning Triangle is a three-part learning pattern that helps reachall types o learners by teaching through a variety o activities.The three points o the Learning Triangle are View,Read, and Do.

    VIEW with your child an educational program that teaches a concept or skill.

    READ with your child age-appropriate books that reiterate the new concept or skill.

    DO an activity that reinorces the concept or skill and allows your child to practice what she or he has learned.

    What is the PBS Learning Triangle?

    As you use the Learning Triangle you will see how each point reinorces the others. Theworkshops provide suggested Learning Triangle activities, but more important, they teach you

    how to build your own learning triangles to best meet the needs o your child.

    How Do Children Learn?The Learning Triangle is built on how we learn. Using our senses we gather inormation andthen process it into our memory. Some learners rely more on one sense than another.

    Auditory learners use their sense o hearing. They process inormationbetter when they can hear the inormation.

    Visual learners use sight as a key tool or processing inormation.

    Kinesthetic (or hands-on) learners process inormation best by physicallyperorming a task that incorporates the new inormation.

    While learners can have a strong afnity to one type o learning, it is more eective to teachusing a combination o all three. As a parent or caregiver, it is important to understand whattypes o learning work best or your child so that you can guide them to become betterlearners. For young children, ages 03, learning is holistic, meaning that they use all threetypes o learning. PBS developed the Learning Triangle to help reach all types o learners andenhance their learning through repetition. According to Dr. Bruce Perry, repetition is key to thedevelopment o a childs brain. Repetition leads to skill mastery, which increases confdenceand builds sel-esteem.

    Learning Triangle

    Activity Sheet

    Shared Reading:Tools to Bring Literacy to Life

    The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for

    eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children. Shared reading

    involves reading aloud to children, having older children read aloud to

    you, and taking time to talk about the characters, plots, and morals of thestories you have read. Reading aloud with your child will give them a head

    start in many areas of their development.

    Language Development

    Reading with your child is critical to languagedevelopment. Children who are read to hearmore words on a daily basis when compared tochildren who are not read to. The more wordsa child is exposed to, the greater the childsvocabulary. A large vocabulary is one o the

    strongest predictors o academic success. Inother words, one o the best things you cando or your childs language development is toread with them daily. During and ater a story,talk about what you have read.

    Ask questions about the main characters in thestory, make predictions or what the characterswill do next, and discuss your avorite partsrom the book. Take turns reading with yourolder child so that they have supervisedpractice sounding out words.

    It is never too early to start reading to children.Studies have shown that reading to inantspositively impacts language development.Make reading a part o your childs daily lieright rom the start.

    Cognitive Development

    The ability to read is the most importantacademic skill your child can acquire. Considerthat a child can not solve word problems inmath or read science and social studies booksuntil they have learned how to read. Beorechildren can learn to read, they must learn to

    listen to and understand spoken language.A toddler understands what you mean when youask them to wash their hands long beore theycan say, Wash your hands. Because listeningcomprehension comes frst, it is important thatyou begin reading to your child rom inancy.The sound o your voice calms and reassuresyour inant; he or she will associate positiveeelings o security and enjoyment with reading.Eventually, as children learn to comprehendwhat you are saying and to speak on their own,

    they will also learn to read on their own.

    It is critical that you continue to read aloud toyour child even ater they have learned to readon their own. The reason or this is that childrencan be read to rom books slightly higher thantheir individual reading level. This means thatas you read aloud to them they are continuingto broaden their vocabulary. Shared readingalso allows you to discuss books together, thusincreasing comprehension.

    Physical Development

    Healthy physical growth and developmentis a critical actor in reading success. Inantsand young children must develop the musclesand coordination necessary to orm words, seeletters and pictures, and listen attentively.

    These physical abilities are developed best

    through the medium o play. Young childrenlearn many important skills and develop smalland large muscle control through play. Childrenwho develop a large vocabulary show greaterreading and academic success.

    One o the best ways or children to broadentheir vocabulary is by trying out new words asthey play. Also, consider that children must beable to use their imaginations as they engagein dramatic play as well as while they listen

    to a airy tale or other story. Allow your childplenty o time or supervised reeplay in orderto allow or healthy physical development.

    Social/Emotional Development

    Children who have positive emotionalresponses to reading will enjoy reading. Youcan help your child develop these positiveassociations by making shared reading aspecial part o your childs day where theycan hear your voice and listen to enjoyable,

    age-appropriate stories. You can alsomake reading an enjoyable social event byattending story time and other un activitiesat your local library.

    Books are a great way to teach social andemotional skills. There are many booksavailable that teach children about eelings,emotions, and relationships. Consider whatsituations your child may be acing (such aslearning to share or potty training) and fndbooks that teach about similar circumstances.

    Children also learn rom example. As theysee you reading books, magazines, andnewspapers they learn that reading can be anenjoyable part o everyday lie. Children whosee their parents reading are more likely toenjoy reading themselves.
