In 2018 we looked at why early language is being prioritised across the UK and what it means for those of us working across early years and public health.
We looked at how different regions are tackling the language development gap and hear about the very latest research, and evidence-based practice being utilised, in language acquisition.
If adults talk with children effectively—taking the lead from the child, elaborating on what they say, asking questions, sharing rhymes or songs or books— then children are given the best start in developing the cognitive tools they need to succeed at school.
