shows a learning exercise that uses imaginative play and physical
activity to get children thinking about the concepts they
are learning. Participants will leave the webinar with an

a structured learning environment, how to use What's the Word
on the Street podcasts to inspire language development within
their children, and how to use What's the Word on the Street
