Speaking and listening is integral to the experiences of the childcare setting. Educators should speak to the children clearly and frequently, and encourage them to use language effectively. (Edwards, Gandini, & Forman, 2011)

In order to ensure the child's ability to develop oral language, the ECE needs to create a rich language environment for the child in everyday life, using different sentence structures and language styles to communicate with the child.
Listen to the child and guide the child's direction of communication in a timely manner. Engage in meaningful interaction with them, for example by asking open-ended questions and encouraging them to describe ideas and opinions.
Engage in word interaction with children, introducing new vocabulary and helping them to understand and use it. Actively promoting children's oral language development can help them to build the foundations for effective communication.

I think the only way to understand your child's thoughts is to start trying to communicate. Any medium can be a bridge between the ECE and the child.
This time I brought a paintbrush, a piano and chess to do some activities in the park. When I try to communicate with the children I find that many of them are experiencing bilingualism due to their different cultural backgrounds and lifestyle.
When communicating, I guide the children through music or things that interest them when they don't know how to express themselves. I think this allows the child to be more confident in speaking their mind.

Reading with children is a very common activity in the EYFS early childhood setting. During the reading process, each child will have their own understanding of the books.
Guiding children to learn how to see and how to look through images can help them to expand their perspective and view of things.
Helping children to read through images can enhance their powers of observation and sense of beauty. It also gives them more scope to use their imagination and to discover their own potential from them.

With wordless picture books, each child can use their imagination and creativity to develop their own understanding of the story in the book and tell a 'unique' story, according to their age, experience and state of mind. Of course, children's level of reading and narration of wordless picture books will be influenced by their previous life experiences as well as by their existing reading experiences.

Research findings indicate that children often respond actively and playfully, both bodily and verbally, to wordless pic-turebooks as they construct meaning (Crawford & Hade, 2000; Flint, 2010).

In this section, I visited our community library. I looked through many children's related books and found many interesting things.
For children's books, the illustration helps children to understand the story more simply.
I observed that illustrations usually use bright colours and lively images. Simple text is often used alongside illustrations to explain the meaning.
The images are usually coherent and a new character will appear as the story progresses. The fonts are often larger to better capture the child's attention.

In early childhood settings, this may translate into an experience. Children can be given a blank sheet of paper for different forms of exploration. Through drawing and cutting, various portraits are drawn on the paper and parts of clothing are hollowed out. Through the white paper, it can take on different patterns of flowers, plants and trees. Various nature scenes are worn like clothes on the little person drawn on the paper. This exploration adds interest to the paper and presents different patterns of use.

Learning about vocabulary is essential in the development of young children, however, vocabulary is often not of interest to children. Most children don't usually focus on games and this can be done by guiding them through word-based games to get them interested in learning. Once children are interested in the game, their attention span increases, so this is a great way to develop children's attention spans. Children's playful nature combined with fun and lively word games can get them into a learning mood quickly. It is also a great way for children to work on their logic and problem-solving skills by engaging them in thoughtful word games.

We are moved by materials and are prompted by the materials' own characteristics and liveliness. It is never as simple as idea directly imposed on form. (Pacini-Ketchabaw, Kind, & M., 2016)

When we use paper for play, we can use them to express emotions. It is also important to try to understand the characteristics of the materials themselves and that a material can be presented in many different ways. Guiding children to find different ways of using them can stimulate their desire for exploration and curiosity.

In this exploration, I have used paper, which in white is shapable. For the paper activity, I think it can be explored not only through kneading and folding but also through the reflection of light and shadow for the children to share and express their thoughts.
By reflecting various shapes of leaves onto the paper through the sunlight, the children will not only learn the use of paper but also the magic of nature. It also allows them to understand the wonders of nature.

In the workplace, one may hang on to respect for children and may think that squatting down to talk to them is respectful and that giving them a choice of
giving a child the opportunity to choose a play project is respectful ....... After reading The Hundred Languages of Children, my perception of respect has changed. Reggio education has allowed me to experience a real respect in the sense of equality between people. Reggio educators' respect for children comes from their complete trust in their abilities, from their full support of their activities, from their careful listening to their inner thoughts, and from their expectation and appreciation of their behaviour.

The language of a child, a thousand different things,
As brilliant as a flower.
Each language is unique,
100 language can express their thoughts.

Colour is a language,
Colourful can express their emotions.
With Paintbrush and paper, paint the patterns of the heart,
The feelings are interpreted through lines.

Movement is a language,
The closeness and the smile express affection.
Interaction brings them closer together,
Understanding can go deeper into the heart.

Singing is a language,
Voices bring us together.
The sound of singing is clear and beautiful,
They express joy and hope.

Children's 100 languages are so lively,
Listening is the best friend.
Communication is the best companionship,
Observation can truly reach into the heart of a child.

In the ECE experience, children have different cultural backgrounds because of the multicultural nature of Australia. Children experience cultural respect when the teacher tries to communicate with them in their native language. When using diverse multimedia, the child will also become more aware of other national cultures.

Children in early childhood have always used construction, drawing or illustrations, movement and sound to represent meaning. The newer multimodal technologies add to children's choice of medium to represent ideas and to comprehend the meanings in a range of texts.（Hill 2007)

There is a strong connection between music and communication, through rhythm and song it can help children to improve their discrimination skills and language expression. This is beneficial for both increasing vocabulary and communication.

I sang a song in my native language (Chinese), because for children there are no boundaries. The melody and the beat help children to express their emotions and also to train their body coordination.

I make the lines by using different drops of paint onto the paper and using a squeegee to make them stretch. Mixing the various colours, the different colours and shapes in the process can be shown to express different emotions.

With all children, we look for the ways in which they recognize choices and possibilities and represent their experiences. (Edwards, Gandini, & Forman, 2011)

In practical applications, drawing and art language can be used to support social and emotional development, providing children with opportunities to collaborate, share ideas and express empathy for others.

Paint invited bodies to collaborate, to cooperate. It invited forces to interact and interfere with each other. (Pacini-Ketchabaw, Kind, & M., 2016)
This book explains the communication between the pictures and the child, the combination of colours and lines can help children to express themselves and is a way of communicating. It will also improve your child's language skills as they try to explain their work.

Painting provides opportunities to explore and experiment with different materials, colours and textures, promoting the development of senses and communication.
