"Developmentalists know that children whose parents talk to them often, read to them
regularly, and use a wide range of words in their speech differ from children whose parents do not.
These children begin to talk sooner, develop largervocabularies, use more complex sentences, and
learn to read more readily when they reach school age. The sheer quantity of language a child hears is
a significant factor."
