Why Talk, Play, And Read?
It’s important to engage in regular Talking, Playing, and Reading with your child every day. These activities have been shown to have a profound impact on brain development, self-confidence, and vocabulary, all of which are crucial for a child’s ability to succeed in school. Research indicates that the richness of a child’s vocabulary, shaped by the words they are exposed to, directly influences their reading skills. Studies have consistently demonstrated that daily interaction through talking, playing, and reading significantly enhances a child’s language development, reading ability, and academic success. As a parent or caregiver, you play a pivotal role in setting your child up for success in both school and life. Engaging in these activities early, from the time your child is born, can make a significant difference in their future achievements.
