Talking = Reading Prep

6/8/2025

Did you know that every conversation with your child helps prepare them to read?
This is the second video in our Reading Readiness Series, and it’s all about the power of language.
Talking to your child builds their vocabulary, helps them understand sentence structure, and strengthens their ability to make connections—all of which are essential for reading. Simple conversations in the car, at the store, or during playtime all make a difference.
Describe what you’re doing. Ask them to explain things back to you. These everyday moments are building blocks of literacy.
Talk, listen, and explore language together. It all counts.
