Surround Students with Sophisticated, Spoken Words
New York Times reporter, Tina Rosenberg writes about the importance of surrounding children with sophisticated, spoken vocabulary. A poor child is likely to hear millions fewer words at home than a child from a professional family. And the disparity matters. The article references research by Betty Hart and Todd R. Risley at the University of Kansas, suggesting a key to early learning is talking — specifically, a child’s exposure to language spoken by parents and caretakers from birth to age 3, the more the better.
