Music experiences are common in a young child’s life. Music is a natural avenue

Music experiences are common in a young child’s life. Music is a natural avenue for a child’s self-expression. The challenge in planning music experiences for young children is to overcome the “adult” approach to music so you can share musical experiences with children in a way that preserves and encourages their innate spontaneous and open attitude toward music.
Appropriate musical experiences for young children must first take into account the child’s developmental level. The developmental levels of all children in the group must also be included in planning musical experiences for children. It is important to include activities from each area of music — singing, rhythm, instruments, movement, listening and musical concepts.
Language is a part of a child’s total development. As there is in physical growth, there is a definite pattern of development related to the child’s growth in language. Language development involves growth of the four skills of speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Each of these skills can develop at different rates in each individual child. Teachers need to understand each child’s developmental level for each of these language skills in planning developmentally appropriate language experiences.
Emerging literacy refers to the time immediately before a child learns to read printed symbols as well as to the continuous development of pre-reading skills that begin at birth. Prewriting skills are also considered a part of emerging literacy. Learning to write involves fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Reading skills develop gradually through developmentally appropriate activities in the early childhood program.
