Talk matters!
“The most important aspect to evaluate in early
childhood settings for very young children is the amount of talk actually
going on, moment by moment, between children and their caregivers."
Hart & Risley, 200214
• Children are actively engaged
• Adults follow the children’s lead
• Adults extend the interaction
INTERACTION

• World knowledge
• Language to think
INFORMATION
Caregivers are important
Limited vocabulary
Too simple/complex
Limited knowledge
Children are more passive
Adults are more directive
