"Intro to Talk With Me Baby"


"Intro to Talk With Me Baby" offers an overview of Language Nutrition™ which is defined as the use of language, beginning before birth and continuing throughout childhood that is sufficiently rich in engagement, quality, quantity, and context that it nourishes the child socially, neurologically, and linguistically. This introductory presentation provides vital information on the science behind Language Nutrition, cultivates the skills needed by early childhood educators and providers to model and effectively communicate Language Nutrition messages and practice to families, and supports parents and caregivers as a child’s first and best teachers. Vocabulary at the age of three is the single strongest predictor of a child’s future literacy and educational success, which has important implications for health and economic outcomes. Coaching caregivers and parents to provide language nutrition to their children at an early age could drastically improve a child’s trajectory, and we believe that there are strategic workforces for delivering this coaching including early educators, healthcare professionals, foster care workers, and more.
