Talking and Reading essential to language skills

Dear Readers,

New studies show that the language skills learned from reading to your child can be enhanced when talking is added. For instance, while reading a book to your child, point to the pictures and ask questions. You may want your child to tell you what he/she thinks will happen next. Or you may want to ask your child to tell you what he/she thinks will happen at the end of the book.
