Children learn what they hear and see most. Programs should focus on language children can engage with, respond to and use in the preschool context.

Some reflective questions to consider:

• Have I identified key phrases that can be used regularly as part of daily routines?
• Have I planned for children to have multiple opportunities to hear, see and engage with key language?
• Can I use resources in a range of different ways to increase frequency of engagement with key language?
