Baby Language Development
Did you know that babies can start learning language right away?
•Resources for babies from birth to two years old
•American Sign Language - Link coming soon!
•"1 2 3 Super Empowered !" (BABIES) Purchase a course today so Tonya can help your family teach your baby like in the video.
Tonya facilitated a mother’s understanding of how to support her seven month-old baby’s early language development as the baby began to blend the “NA” sound in 7 days.
After 11 days the student is singing the "NA" sound.
This is the first step in early childhood writing.
In this example we see how it all begins with families drawing and writing together. Then, as children learn, they begin to do more of the process themselves.
This example displays the importance of drawing lines and circles for children, since this is the basis for writing letters and numbers.
What is this doing?
• helps students transition into confidently drawing people
• empowers them to want to write a journal entry
• develops fine motor skills
• prewriting skills
• supports early reading skills

Mat Man in Tonya's Classroom
"In my experience working with both high performing and struggling districts, as well as working with dual language preschoolers, I've found using self directed learning and super empowered boards makes learning feel effortless."
