The importance of talk,
By saliero (NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning to Talk, Talking to Learn (Parenting Series) (Paperback)
This book is pitched at parents wishing to 'boost your child's language and learning abilities'. I found it a very useful introduction to the way language capacity develops - written such that an intelligent lay person can easily understand it. It covers aspects such as why talking is important, how children learn to talk, the role of "babbling", influences other than parents such as music and books. It also covers growing up bilingual, and multiple birth scenarios. It emphasises the role of adults in encouraging positive behaviour through the type of language used.I recommend this book for parents who want to know more about language development, high school students studying courses in child development and as a resource for parenting courses and classes. If "language is power" (and I believe it is), who doesn't want to give their child the best possible start? |
