Listening is the first essential language skill that humans use to learn. Babies and very young children cannot read, write, or speak, but by "hearing" rich vocabulary, they are later able to reproduce language structure and vocabulary in speaking and in writing. The infant brain is developing rapidly and it is critical that intellectual stimulation is nurtured. The truth is that children cannot produce what they have not heard and/or seen. Reading is critical to their language development and this is why the Avant-garde Books Team has created this special and engaging podcast.
