- making reading activities at home a little more fun
For: curious parents, caregivers, teachers, therapists, and community organizations.

Simple ways to build language at home
No special materials or technology needed. Just you, your child, and the day you already have.
Talk during routines
Name what you're doing at bath time, meals, and car rides. "You're pouring the milk. Pour, pour, all done!"
Tell stories in order
Use the words first, next, then, and last to talk about something you did together.
Share books
Talk about the pictures, not just the words. Ask, "What do you think happens next?"
Take turns talking
Pause, listen, and answer. Back-and-forth conversation is one of the best ways children learn language.
