Part 3: Cognitive and Language cite source Development

Cognitive and language development are related skills that are executed by the children together. Cognitive development involves how a child thinks to remember, pay attention, remember, and learn. Language development, on the other hand, means how thoughts are transmitted from one mind to another mind. Cognitive and language development are two interconnected skills that develop in a child simultaneously.

Cognitive and language development in kids can be enhanced in a pre-school through proper design. The design should ensure there is a spacious classroom to accommodate playing and learning activities. The class should be organized such that there is a space for playing activities and a place with well-arranged learning desks for learning activity. Within the school also there should be a space for dining and a different area for a sanitary facility located differently. This kind of school design is appropriate and can promote cognitive development in children. The design of using playing materials such as blocks and toys with different colors can also enhance cognitive development. Language development can be promoted by using books containing letters and pictures to help kids who do not understand English through the interpretation of the pictures. Learning can also be encouraged during playtime by branding, playing materials like toys, blocks, and balls with letters or numbers.

Implementation of various activities enhances cognitive and language development for all students, including English and special needs children. Firstly, the instructor should conduct learning activity in a well-organized classroom that allows them to reach every learner to ensure that all the learners are learning on the same page. The use of letters, pictures from books, and colors are used to enhance cognitive development. The children will be in a position to identify different colors, sizes, and shapes with time. The development of language can be enhanced by allowing kids to describe pictures in their word and then teach them to describe it in English. Special needs children should be provided with hearing aids and visual aids to enhance cognitive and language development.

Cognitive and language development can be enhanced by using various structures such as toys and blocks, along with learning activities conducted in the school. The use of books containing pictures and letters is used to guide the learner to read as students with some difficulty deciphering some words may be aided by the images drawn beside the terms, enhancing cognitive development. Also, kids can know where to carry out different activities through the pre-school design. For instance, the learner can understand the dining room is a place for dining.

On the other hand, language and literacy development is promoted by using different learning aids such as charts, books, and toys. The use of these other teaching aids makes the lesson interesting, unlike the use of one teaching aid, such as a book that could cause an experience monotonous. Including play activities such as making gestures while learning about letters can make learning enjoyable and promote language and literacy development. English learners can develop their language by describing things such as words and numbers using their terms. They are taught by the teacher how to represent them 3.1, 3.2   the artifact needs a source and there should be an in text citation/reference to an academic/professional resource to support the description in English, which will enhance language and literacy development. In general, cognitive and language development in kids depends on the pre-school design and the activities carried out by the instructors and the learners to enhance learning.
