I LIKE ANIMALS

Elephants. I like elephants.
Elephants. I like elephants.
I like how they swing through trees, elephants.
(No!)
What?
(Elephants don't swing through trees.)
They don't? Well what am I thinking of?
(Monkeys.)
Oh, well in that case.

Monkeys. I like monkeys.
I like how they swim in the ocean…
(No! that's Fish.)
Oh, I see.

Fish. I like fish.
I like how they scratch at fleas (no) and sniff at trees and bark at the mailman…
(No, no, no, no.)
No?
(No, those are dogs.)

Gotta like dogs.
Right?
(Yeah.)
Curled up on the windowsill purring, and chasing mice…
(No!)
Well what then?
(Cats!)
Cats, of course.

Cats. I like cats.
I like how they say, “Cock-a-doodle-doo!”
(No, no, no, no. They go meow! You're thinking of roosters.)

Roosters. I like roosters.
I like how they reach into beehives for the honey…
(No, bears do that.)
Bears, yes yes yes.

Bears. I like bears.
I like how they jump up high to catch a fly and sit on a lilypad…
(No, no, no, no, no! Frogs!)

Gotta like frogs.
(Yeah!)
Yeah.
Running through a maze for some cheese…
(Noooooooooo that's mice.)
Oh, mice.

Mice. I like mice.
I like how they say, “Hee, haw, hee haw"
(No. They go squeak, squeak. That's a donkey!)

Donkeys, I like donkeys.
I like how they stomp through the jungle with their big gray trunks…
(No, that's an elephant!)
That's like I said.

Elephants. I like elephants.
(You don't know anything about animals.)
I do so.
(You're silly.)
Am not

How learn english children 0-3 years

BETWEEN TWO AND THREE YEARS:

• Teach your child to say his or first and last name.
• Ask about the number, size and shape of the things your child shows you. 
• Ask open-ended questions that don’t have a “yes” or “no” answer. 
• This helps them develop their own ideas and learn to express them.  If it’s worms, you could say: “What fat, wiggly worms!  How many are there?...Where are they going?  Wait, watch and listen to the answer. You can suggest an answer if needed: “I see five.  Are they going to the park or the store?”
• Ask your child to tell you the story that goes with a favorite book.  “What happened to those three pigs?” Reading spurs language development.  Take him to storytime at your local library.  Your toddler will enjoy sharing books with you as well as peers.
• Do lots of pretend play.  Acting out stories and role-playing create rich opportunities for using, and learning, language.
• Don’t forget what worked earlier.  For example, your child still needs quiet time.  This is not just for naps.  Turn off the TV and radio and let your child enjoy quiet play, singing and talking with you.
