STEP ONE: Have a family environment that supports time for language.

- If you read for 20 minutes a day, your child will be exposed to 1.8 million words a year.
- If you read for 4-5 minutes a day, your child will be exposed to 282,000 words a year.
STEP TWO: Build relationships and communication with your child.
- Narrate what you are doing together.
- Ask open-ended questions.
- Ask your child for their opinion on things.
STEP THREE: Continue to educate yourself.
- Never stop learning and building awareness around what to look for and how to support your child.
