| Summary: | The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a counseling program in developing expressive skills and social interaction among a sample of pre-school children. Five skills were identified for their development: expressive linguistic skills, forming friendships, expressing feelings, social participation, and communicating with others. The semi-experimental approach was used to achieve the objectives of the study. The study tools applied the Expressive Language Scale and the Social Interaction Scale to a sample consisting of selected intentionally (20) children from Al-Qabas Kindergarten in Khartoum. The sample was distributed into two groups, an experimental group and a control group. After applying the two skills scales: the expressiveness and social interaction in the experimental and control groups (pre-post), differences were found between the average scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the expressive skills scale (total), where the arithmetic average of the experimental group’s scores was (4.18), while the arithmetic average of the control group’s scores was (3.62). The study also found that there was an apparent difference between the average scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the (total) social interaction scale, where the arithmetic average of the experimental group’s scores was (4.20), while the arithmetic average of the control group’s scores was (3.55) The study concluded with a number of recommendations, the most important of which is preparing programs to develop expressive linguistic skills among pre-school children. |
