Talk, Read, and Sing Together Every Day!
Tip Sheets for Families, Caregivers and Early Learning Educators
Research has found that providing children from birth to five with consistent, language-rich experiences – such as talking, reading, and singing – can have important benefits on their brain development and future school success.
However, many families lack access to the types of resources that can help them make the most of these language building experiences. This creates a gap in the quantity and quality of words that children learn, which directly impacts their opportunities to succeed in school and later on in life.
The U.S. Department of Education has created “Talk, Read, and Sing Together Every Day” tip sheets, which are available in English and Spanish. Made specifically for families, caregivers and early educators, these resources can help enrich a child’s early language experiences by providing research-based tips for talking, reading, and singing with young children every day beginning from birth.
