not developed abstract thinking and logical memory
teaching should be concrete like teaching vocab. (animals, members of family, colours,toys) everything what child can see
short-term memory so we should repeat all the time, but not to bore children, short tasks and exercises, variety of activity and repetition!
Need for play - play should be at the first place, TPR (Total Phusicall Response), connected with drawing etc. different form of expression (theatre,music)
start doing sth when you feel that you're ready - we can't force a child to do sth if he/she doesn't want to, choirous repetition (in groups), encourage them to speak, lots of repetition!
Spontaniously reacting- do not treat it seriouslly, personally, be kind and cheerful
