Positive Interactions, Powerful Impact 

Did you know that the path to reading success begins before a child picks up their first book? Language development starts before a baby says their first word. And writing skills begin before one crayon, marker, or pencil is ever used. It’s true!

The conversations we have with young children today shape how well they’ll read, write, and speak tomorrow.

Our new white paper shows that when teachers and caregivers have more high-quality serve-and-return conversations with children from birth, those kids develop stronger literacy skills. We studied hundreds of classrooms and found that conversational turns make a real difference.

In this paper, you’ll learn:

• How early conversations build the brain pathways for language and literacy
• Real examples of teachers boosting children’s communication skills
• Evidence-based strategies that work in any early childhood classroom setting
