Food for thought….
Did you know that studies have shown that vocabulary gaps develop in children by the age of 4, and those gaps are hard to overcome?
From birth to 3 are critical years when children are building their vocabulary. By the age of 4, children whose parents’ converse with them regularly may have heard 30 million more words than their peers. Reading to your child is an opportunity to introduce them to so many new, interesting, and fun words. Reading is a memorable activity between a parent and a child, and you don’t have to do all of the reading! Children, even those who do not know how to read, can still “tell” the story. Encourage their imagination, expand your own! Make it interesting! Make it fun! Use different voices, speak softly or loudly, read fast or read slow. Just read!
READ, READ, READ to make memories and build literacy skills. All those words you are reading and those conversations you are having with your child are building a foundation for their future success!
