Even if they haven’t said them out loud yet, your baby has already learned new words. Whenever you talk to your baby, you’re helping them understand what different words mean and how to use them to communicate. In fact, you’re making your baby smarter just by talking to them! Knowing how to use words will help your child learn to read, write and speak, setting them up for a lifetime of success.
Research shows the best predictor of a baby’s future school success is not their ethnicity, their parents’ income or education level, but rather the quality and number of words spoken to them during their first three years. As a parent, you hold the key to unlocking your baby’s future success — all you have to do is talk!
