Talking with your child is one of the most powerful ways to build early literacy skills. Whether you’re grocery shopping, walking in the park, or making a snack, describe what you’re doing, name objects, and ask open-ended questions. These everyday conversations help grow vocabulary, develop listening skills, and strengthen comprehension, all essential building blocks for reading. Remember, it’s not about having the “right” words, it’s about connecting, exploring language together, and making communication a daily habit.
