Talking and Listening: Building Language Skills for Literacy Every conversation you have with your child helps build the language skills they need for reading and writing. Talking about your day, naming objects around the house, asking questions, and listening to their responses all support vocabulary development and comprehension. Even singing songs or reciting nursery rhymes strengthens their ability to hear and play with the sounds in words. These everyday interactions lay the groundwork for your child to become a confident communicator and a strong reader. Looking for more ways to build these skills? Visit the library for an upcoming craft storytime or craft program. Check our Event Calendar or ask a librarian for details!
