📚 WHY is reading and exploring books so important for promoting pediatric speech and language? ⠀
⠀
📚 Children need to hear many words often. Reading to your child often exposes them to more words and builds their vocabulary. ⠀
⠀
📚 Children learn words when they are interested. Books motivate children to communicate and, when parents respond to what the child is interested in, it helps children learn new words.⠀
⠀
📚 Reading builds vocabulary and meaning. Children learn what words mean when parents read with them and explain what new words mean while pointing to the pictures. ⠀
⠀
📚 Vocabulary and grammar are learned together. Children need to hear new words in grammatically correct sentences in order to learn language efficiently. Reading books with your child exposes them to new words used in grammatical sentences.⠀
⠀
📚 Positive, extended conversations support cognitive and social development. When parents read with their child this promotes a positive interaction and shared conversation. ⠀
⠀
🙌 Parents, I know you’re busy (TRUST me 😅)⠀
⠀
💯 But it is critical to your child’s speech and language development to carve out some quiet time to listen and read. ⠀

🗣 Modeling Pronouns! Instead of saying:⠀
⠀
👦🏻 “Johnny wants milk” to acknowledge Johnny, who just said something similar…⠀
⠀
👍🏼Say: “I want milk.”⠀
⠀
✅ Model the correct pronoun, “I.”⠀
⠀
✅ Model EXACTLY what your child should say!⠀
⠀
❌ Do NOT require your child to repeat you…⠀
⠀
🙌🏼 Each modeled production is NOT a test but a teachable moment! ⠀
⠀
👌🏼Just simply model the correct pronoun during any and all chances throughout the day. ⠀
⠀
💯 Modeling is the BEST form of teaching for our little ones learning to produce language! ⠀
