For parents and caregivers

Surround your baby with words, stories, and songs to nurture learning and development.

"Parents learn that talking, singing and reading to an infant enhance understanding and use of language which sets the basis of literacy learning.  Formal storytimes and informal reading times promote the understanding of narrative and the rhythms and sound of language.”
