Connecting Through Talk Nurturing Children’s Development With Language By David K. Dickinson, Ed.D., & Ann B. Morse, M.Ed. How do responsive adult–child interactions influence early language development? How do a child’s language skills develop in tandem with social-emotional development, executive function, and literacy? What are effective ways to help parents support their child’s development? Uncover the answers questions in this fascinating book, which draws on current research to examine connections between language, social-emotional, and literacy development and profiles programs that support this development. You’ll begin with a research-based examination of critical topics such as how children learn the building blocks of language and literacy and what language-rich parent–child exchanges look like. Building on this knowledge, the book gives you snapshots of more than a dozen programs that support language and literacy development by coaching parents in responsive adult–child interactions and providing books for young children. This synthesis of science and practical guidance is essential reading for researchers, administrators, and educators! $34.95 | Stock #: 21106-52315 | 2019 | 264 pages | 6 x 9 | paperback | ISBN 978-1-68125-231-5
