If parents tell their child stories
and fairy tales from an early age, the child will be well on the way
to mastering language. Reading aloud to your child is a good way
to stimulate language and imagination.
You can help your child develop
language skills by listening to, and talking with, your child.
Everything you do together helps your child master language. Read,
tell stories, sing, explain, and play with your child! Start early in
your child's life. The foundations for solid language skills are laid
in the early stages of childhood development.
Talk with your child – in your own language. Mastery of the
mother tongue lays the foundation for learning other languages.
Read with your child
"Through words we learn to understand.
Through words we learn to explain.
And the words help us
live together."
— Benkt-Erik Hedin
