Why structure play?
Research-backed improvements in:
• Overall cognition• Problem solving• Executive Functioning• Language skills, including vocabulary• Early literacy skills
![Page 7: Structured Dramatic Play in the Early Childhood Classroom to Develop Language, Cognition, and Social Interaction Jennifer Preschern, MA CCC-SLP, MA Learning](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649cac5503460f9496d7f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Research support “The plan-play-report intervention is effective for improving social skills and promoting advances in children's cognitive and
communicative development.” (Craig-Unkefer & Kaiser, 2003)
“The intention of play planning and resulting play appears to exercise mature play behaviors that are foundational in executive functioning, namely inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitively flexibility. (Diamond et. Al, 2008)
“Results from the study provide support for the inclusion of systematic training of scripts to enhance interaction and communication skills among children with and without disabilities using socio-dramatic play. “(Goldstein & Cisar, 1992)
“Children learn vocabulary best when the teacher provides opportunities to use and practice vocabulary in context.” ( Newman, Susan and Julie Dwyer, 2009)
“One way to improve vocabulary through literacy is to have children “re-enact the book, making up their own versions of the story.(Wilcox, 2001)
“Literacy enriched play increases promotes literacy behaviors.” (Morrow and Schickedanz 2006)
“Preschools with language impairments do not enter conversations as often as typically developing children” (Hadley & Rice, 1991)
