Background Information and Directions:
Rosemary teaches 3- and 4-year-old children in a child-care center. Over time she observes that although the children begin each day eager to play in the pretend grocery store, they don’t seem to know what to do with the materials or each other. They mostly argue over the cash register, grab the food cartons from the shelves, and dump them onto the floor. Their play lacks focus, and they seldom talk to one another for real or in a pretend role. It doesn’t take long before the area is a mess and the children simply drift away to other activities
Identify three teaching strategies Rosemary could use to support the children’s learning in the pretend grocery store. Provide examples of verbal scripts to illustrate any verbal strategies you choose
