Early Childhood

Babbling is the initial stage of language development where infants experiment with sounds before forming coherent words or phrases.

The holophrastic stage is characterized by children using single words to convey complete thoughts or ideas.

The telegraphic phase refers to the stage of language development where children start speaking in longer phrases, typically around 24-30 months of age. While their sentences may be longer, they may still omit prepositions, articles, and other words in a telegram-like manner.

Print awareness refers to the foundational knowledge about reading and books, such as understanding how to read a page, locate the front and end of a book, and identify key elements like the title.

Concepts of print refer to the fundamental knowledge and understanding required to develop reading skills, such as recognizing letters, words, and sentences, as well as the basic conventions of reading text from left to right and from front to back in books.

Phonological awareness specifically refers to understanding and utilizing the components of language structure like syllables, onsets, and rimes, not related to pen holding, calculus, or musical abilities.

A syllable is a basic unit of pronunciation and typically contains a single vowel sound, which separates it from other sound units in a word.

In phonetics, the term 'onset' specifically refers to the initial consonant sound of a word, such as the 'sw' in 'swim'. It is important in understanding the pronunciation and structure of words.

The correct answer refers to the concept of 'rime' in linguistics, specifically in relation to phonetics and phonology.

The alphabetic principle refers to the understanding that the written symbols (letters) represent the sounds of spoken language. It is foundational for learning to read and write.

Skip counting is a method of counting that involves reciting numbers in a specific pattern or interval, rather than the traditional consecutive order. It helps in developing number sense and multiplication skills.

Numeration specifically refers to the process of assigning a number to something, not related to meditation, supernatural significance, or belief in certain numbers.

One-to-one correspondence refers to the concept of assigning one element from one set to exactly one element in another set. It is commonly used in counting and math to ensure each object is counted only once.

Manipulatives are physical objects that students can touch and manipulate to understand abstract math concepts better. They provide a hands-on approach to learning and are particularly useful for visual and kinesthetic learners.

Number conservation is the concept that the quantity of objects remains the same regardless of their arrangement or presentation. This principle is crucial in early childhood development and understanding basic mathematical concepts.

Subitizing is the ability to recognize small numbers of objects instantly without counting. It is different from estimation, counting, or mental math calculations.

Cardinality refers to the numerical quantity of elements in a set or group and is a fundamental concept in mathematics.

A digit is a symbol used in the numerical system to represent numbers, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Place value refers to the position of a digit within a number and the value it holds based on that position. It is a fundamental concept in mathematics and is essential for understanding the numerical value of a given number.

Whole numbers are integers that are non-negative and do not include any fractions or decimals.

Attachment theory, as proposed by Mary Ainsworth, focuses on the quality of the bond between infants and their primary caregivers and how it influences the child's exploration of their surroundings.

Self-identity refers to a person's concept of themselves, including how they perceive their own abilities, attributes, and place in society. It is not about being alone, biological identification, or security measures.

Self-awareness involves the ability to recognize and understand one's own emotions, desires, and beliefs, not just an awareness of others or general knowledge.

Social and emotional competence refers to the skills needed to interact effectively with others and manage one's own emotions in a healthy way. It encompasses understanding social cues, empathy, communication skills, and regulating one's own emotions in different situations.

PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Support, which is a system aimed at training students toward prosocial behavior through school-wide expectations and tiered interventions and strategies.

Child guidance in an educational setting refers to the various strategies and techniques teachers use to foster appropriate behaviors and social skills in students. This includes methods such as consequences, rewards, rules, redirection, and more.

Moral autonomy refers to the individual's internal motivation to act morally, rather than being influenced or forced by external factors. It is about aligning one's behavior with their own ethical principles and values, rather than blindly following external rules or expectations.

Ecological systems theory, as proposed by Urie Bronfenbrenner, focuses on the various systems at work in a child's life that influence their development. It highlights the importance of considering the interactions between different environments and relationships in understanding a child's growth.

Social systems and institutions encompass a broad array of structures that connect people and groups together to form a functioning whole in society. It goes beyond individual interactions, online platforms, or technological advancements to include the broader relationships and networks within society.

Community helpers theme focuses on teaching children about people and institutions that provide essential services to the community, such as police, fire department, and courts, to instill a sense of appreciation and understanding in children.
