early exposure to language
Early exposure to language refers to the process of introducing children to spoken and written words during their formative years. This exposure can occur through conversations, reading books, and singing songs. Research shows that children who hear more language in their early years tend to develop stronger vocabulary and communication skills.
The benefits of early exposure to language extend beyond vocabulary. It also supports cognitive development and social skills. Engaging with parents, caregivers, and educators in language-rich environments helps children learn to express themselves and understand others, laying a foundation for future learning and relationships.
