Talking with Your Baby : Family As the First

Talking with Your Baby addresses a neglected area in child development - how to help low literacy parents and parents for whom English is a second language enhance the language and development of their children at home and through daily routines.
Writing for that audience, authors Alice Honig and Holly Brophy encourage early talking and word power, early language ability, and reading skills with babies and preschoolers.
