About Stefanie
These are some great questions. I find a really great way to get kids talking is to start learn what their interests are. If they love a certain video game, why not watch them play it/play with them. Just like people, kids love talking about what they love. Also, I am seriously in love with the game Apples to Apples, because it gets kids to talk and have fun, and without them knowing teaches them some new vocab.
