a suggestion as to
how they can do it.

Registers of Language
Linguists identify features of register to include
pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.
Register is the way that language varies based
on what the individual is doing. Such variations
may be affected by:
• What you are talking about;
• To whom you are speaking;
• Why you are talking;
• What mode of communication you are using
(e.g., written, spoken, or sign language); and
• Your attitude to the situation.

TV time should be limited
• Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other
non-screen entertainment (books, kids’ magazines, toys, puzzles, board
games, etc.) to encourage your child to do something other
than watch the tube.
• Keep TVs out of your child’s bedroom.
• Turn the TV off during meals.
• Don’t allow your child to watch TV while doing homework.
• Treat the TV as a privilege that your child needs
to earn – not a right to which he or she is entitled.
• Tell your child that TV viewing is allowed only
after chores and homework are completed.

•Three mothers in a research study on the effects of reading
to children saw the following benefits after reading aloud
to them:
- their children’s ability to learn letters
and sounds increased,
- vocabulary expansion, and
- their children began pretending to read.
•Other mothers reported that their children developed
longer attention spans, greater imagination, and the ability
to predict upcoming events.
