| Summary |
In the first six years of life, children are learning to listen, speak, read, write, and use technology. Much of this learning occurs informally through everyday interactions between children, as well as between children and adults. In fact, it is almost impossible to overstate the role of family, especially parents and grandparents, in nurturing, supporting, and influencing young children's language and literacy development |
