question 12 of 20
which of the following activities supports language and literacy development in preschoolers?
introducing board books with bright pictures and simple print
encouraging children to pick up chunky shapes for the shape sorter
expanding the children’s vocabulary with “what,”“who,”“where,”“when” and “why” questions
encouraging children to start their own book club and pick their own books

Explanation:

1. Social and emotional development fosters adaptability, peer interaction, healthy choices, and empathy; being "set in one's ways" contradicts this growth.
2. Board books expose preschoolers to print/language, while question-based vocabulary expansion builds comprehension and expression—both support language/literacy. Shape sorting targets fine motor/cognitive skills, and independent book clubs are beyond typical preschool capabilities.

Answer:

1. becoming increasingly set in their ways.
2. Introducing board books with bright pictures and simple print, Expanding the children’s vocabulary with “what,” “who,” “where,” “when” and “why” questions
