Let's Talk... it makes a difference!
Did you know...
- literacy and learning begin at birth?

Let's Talk is an oral language development campaign started in Cambridge, Massachusetts by The Agenda for Children that impresses upon parents the importance of talking with and reading to very young children. Training provides parents and child care providers with tools and strategies to improve the quality and quantity of conversations taking place between young children, their parents, their teachers, and their communities, in order to improve children's language development.
