Lesson Wrap-Up

Read
1m

Review the key points you learned throughout this lesson:

  • Your baby needs to hear 40 million words in their first 3 ½ years of life. The more words they hear in these early years, the more they'll be prepared to read, write, and do well in school.
  • When you use the Play-By-Play LSL strategy and narrate the day to your baby, you’re building strong connections in their brain for vocabulary, language, and early social skills.
  • You can use Play-By-Play to surround your baby in a world of words during your everyday routines and activities. All you need to do is talk as you go!
