The
of speech that parents provide for their kids, at home, before they get to school, is
– absolutely
. All the
has shown that, that
a lot of language and getting the opportunity to
in different ways really is the kind of
you would want for your kids to be successful.
So actually trying to coach them or correct them is irrelevant
.
I think so, I think coaching and correcting … but …
them books and
to them and
to what they say … AND … giving them the opportunity to
in different kinds of linguistic experiences. In other words, having them
you what they did, you know, narrative, but having them
something – a lot of different, say, “genres”, that kids might be able to engage in – THAT is a
thing for young kids.
