Help your preschool child develop age-appropriate social language skills. This book is chock-full of functional, goal-directed activities and practical "know-how" in ten key areas of social language development.

- Social Referencing – eye referencing and joint attention

- Responding – following directions, reciprocating greetings, answering questions, and responding to comments
- Initiation – gaining attention of the listener and beginning an interaction
- Topicalization – topic maintenance, initiating a topic, and shifting topics
- Communicative Functions/Speech Acts – protesting, requesting, answering and asking questions, and making statements/comments
- Nonverbal Signaling – eye, voice, body, and space messages
- Cohesion – presupposition, eliminating redundancy, and communicative reference
- Comprehension Monitoring and Conversational Repair – inaccuracies in discourse, communication breakdowns, and conversational repair
- Discourse Modalities – descriptive, narrative, persuasive, and humorous discourse
There is a hierarchy of instructional objectives and corresponding activities for each skill area. The functional activities use:

Each skill area has teaching helps:
