what are the different methods used for language sample analysis?
conversation, narrative, expository
Conservation
a major way kids use elicitation and one of the main two ways we collect samples is through conversations
conversation - play-based
when kids are playing they use language with the play - pretend play/object play ex:dolls, dinosaurs
conversation - interviews
usually done on older children, topics of interest to the child - instead of asking about fav food you would ask more open ended questions
narrative
basically kids telling a story (fictional) - at 3 yrs old, it’s pretty rough - at 4 yrs old, it’s pretty decent - at school age, refinement
expository
language used to describe technical things, describing a process - ex: explaining photosynthesis, how does a bill become a law
emergent literacy
the pre cursor to reading development ex:does the child have good vocab
print awareness
do they understand what print is/what it does
literacy atrifacts
