Meaningful early parent-child engagement has lasting effects on brain development and a child’s ability to thrive interpersonally, in language, in education throughout life.

Engaging and communicating with parents and caregivers about their ability to build their child’s brain starts with sharing the importance of building their relationship with their child. TALK READ SING Tampa Bay is a tool to help them do that.

TALK READ SING Tampa Bay’s message is something that can be incorporated into your existing workflow with children and families. Think of it as another tool in your professional tool belt.

Teachers maintain a balance between listening to and talking with each child. Books and other print materials are available throughout the classroom. Shared reading is enjoyed daily and families are encouraged to read with their children at home. Songs, nursery rhymes, finger plays, and pre-writing materials promote the development of language and literacy. This training will provide strategies to promote these early language and literacy for children birth to 36 months.

Outcomes:

Learners will demonstrate an understanding of: • 1. Responsive approaches that support language development • 2. Children’s communication attempts with others • 3. Emergent print awareness • 4. Supporting home language and family literacy
