In this chapter, we will discuss the language challenges of preschool including novel vocabulary, compound sentences, and conversational skills using questions. In addition, we will identify the foundational emergent literacy skills needed for kindergarten. A variety of picture books to nurture preschool language and literacy goals will be offered.

In this chapter, we will discuss the language challenges of preschool with a focus on social-emotional and cognitive/pretend play development. Picture books to foster language goals in these areas will be provided. The course will conclude with an activity to identify the many language, emergent literacy, and pretend play goals that can be targeted using a single picture book.
