Morris, Amanda Sheffield; Treat, Amy; Hassinger-Das, Brenna; Zapata, Martha Isabel; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy
ZERO TO THREE, v40 n2 p52-58 Nov 2019
A child's early language skills are one of the best predictors of academic success, and a number of community interventions have aimed to increase caregiver-child interactions to improve language development and related outcomes. This article describes ongoing community efforts in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, aimed at enriching caregiver-child interactions during everyday moments and in community settings. These interventions target everyday spaces, such as grocery stores or bus stops, and encourage playful learning and conversations through messaging and suggested activities. Descriptions of interventions are provided, as well as initial research findings and lessons learned about program implementation and working with community partners.
