Watch the video to learn how you play a very important role in preparing your child for future school success.
Language is the ability to both use and understand spoken words or signs. It is all about exchanging ideas and thoughts from one person to another.
Literacy is the ability to use and understand written words or other symbols to communicate effectively.
