Huminto ang mga sanggol at makinig kapag kinakausap mo sila. Ang pakikipag-usap ay nagtuturo sa kanila ng wika, na tumutulong sa kanila na maunawaan ang mundo sa kanilang paligid. Magtanong, ituro ang mundo sa kanilang paligid, ilarawan ang iyong ginagawa habang nagluluto ka ng pagkain, magdagdag ng mga bagong salita upang mapalawak ang kanilang bokabularyo. Habang dumarami ang mga salitang naririnig ng iyong anak, mas nauuna sila sa pag-aaral ng pagbasa.
