Research has proven that developing literacy skills begins at birth. These
skills can be accessed through everyday loving interactions, such as sharing
books, telling stories, singing songs, talking to one another, or pointing
out and naming objects. This Insider highlights different ways to promote,
encourage, and help build early literacy skills.

TALK TO ME, BABY! Supporting Language Development in the First 3 Years 
Betty Bardige and M. Kori Bardige

In their first few years, almost all children learn at least one language,
though not equally well. Differences in the quantity, quality, sources, and
variety of language inputs and conversation opportunities have a
long-lasting effect. This article provides an overview of early language
development and explains how talking with babies promotes rich language
acquisition. The authors offer strategies for supporting language at each
stage of development and for recognizing and responding to signs of
potential disruption or delay.

Extensive empirical research has documented the value of play for both
cognitive and social development. Play-guided by teachers, child care
providers, and parents-can contribute to emerging literacy by motivating a
child to learn the cognitive and social skills necessary for success in
kindergarten and the early elementary school years. This book demonstrates
the importance of play in helping children learn basic literacy skills,
social awareness, and creative problem solving.

Infants and toddlers typically learn to read the world by getting support
and encouragement from parents and caregivers-the cherished adults who are
an essential part of their day-to-day routines and interactions. In this
book, editors Sharon E. Rosenkoetter and Joanne Knapp-Philo draw on research
from multiple fields to explore infant-toddler learning as it relates to
beginning language and literacy. They approach this important topic from
numerous vantage points: scholarship, parenting, culture, leadership,
policy, direct service, training, and community development.
