6.Explain the importance of play-based learning in diverse prekindergarten and kindergarten learners language and literacy development and describe ways to promote language and literacy development during conversation and play.

7.Adapt task and interactions to maximize language development, conceptual understanding, and skill competence within each learners zone of proximal development.

8.Use strength-based language to discuss factors (e.g., social, cultural, linguistic, family, socioeconomic, affective, cognitive, and educational) that play a role in monolingual and multilingual language acquisition and literacy learning (reading and writing) in learners with varied abilities and from diverse cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

9.Identify and discuss formal and informal assessment for diverse prekindergarten and kindergarten learners, including screening, diagnostic, and progress monitoring measures for (a) oral language; (b) reading, including phonemic awareness and other phonological awareness, letter recognition, vocabulary, reading levels, and comprehension; and (c) writing.
