The Language Development domain (area) describes children’s growing ability to effectively communicate (expressive language) and understand spoken language (receptive language) in different places and for different purposes.
These skills are key to children’s learning and social abilities.
Children’s understanding and use of language is also closely related to students’ developing literacy (reading and writing) and their ability to be successful in learning to read and write later in life.
