The Prepared Adult in Language Development

Lynda Apostol
45 min

Description

Join Linda Apostol, Montessori homeschool expert and author, as she shares how the prepared adult plays a vital role in language development within Montessori education. With 20 years of experience, Linda shows us that language development goes beyond vocabulary — it’s about building real, meaningful connections.

In this session, you’ll learn about:

  • The neurological and creative aspects of language

  • Why immersion matters more than direct instruction

  • How our tone, actions, and behavior shape children’s language development

Linda also offers practical tips like how to define, describe, and notice with children every day, the importance of daily language rituals, and how to create emotionally safe spaces for children to thrive.

She’ll wrap up with powerful insights on how storytelling, narration, and listening build not just language skills, but emotional security too.
