This is very insightful, I deeply appreciate the formula:
Input (language models) + Intake (child) + output (child) = Language Learning
This would be a very meaningful PD session to create and really dive into the meanings of this formula.
Appreciated the chart of 15 things that an educator can do to build vocabulary as well – and information to support multilingual learners as well.
