ENHANCING LANGUAGE SKILLS IN EARLY YEARS EDUCATION WITH TECHNOLOGY-BASED METHODS

Vocabulary development during the preschool years is crucial for several reasons. Research indicates that children who enter school with a rich vocabulary are more likely to succeed academically across all subjects. A strong vocabulary base enables children to comprehend complex texts, express their thoughts clearly, and engage meaningfully in classroom discussions. During the ages of 3-6, children's brains are particularly receptive to language acquisition. This critical period presents an optimal window for introducing diverse vocabulary through engaging and interactive methods. Traditional teaching approaches, while valuable, can be significantly enhanced through the strategic implementation of innovative technologies
