Story
In a natural developmental trajectory each step in the acquistion of thinking and language involves social/communicative sharing with others. Simple dialogue progresses to more and more complex and purposeful exchange and interaction. It occurs in lock step with the growth of understanding and expression. Communication can speed skill acquistion and allow for better retention and recall. At the very least dialogue is rewarding when it is purposeful and endearing when it is positive and appropriate.
My students often struggle with questions. Processing the meaning of the question words and associated context may take longer than the interaction will allow. Guessing or silence may occur. Answers may be delayed, inaccurate, or incomplete. The exchange is sometimes derailed and abruptly ended. Practice with familiar ideas, and words, in familiar settings with familiar people can be an important support to learning and successful interaction with others.
