「文字使我們有跨越時間和空間的界限進行溝通的能力，而這種能力通常也是區分人們的思維之處。 希臘詩人 Aristophanes 曾寫道：「用文字，給我的思維插上翅膀。」 摘自 Daniel Seigel 的 「Parenting From The Inside Out」 作為教育工作者，我們被賦予超級力量：借助我們的語言、歌曲、故事，以及我們對兒童的真心興趣，我們可以支持兒童的先天能力來發展複雜的語言。 隨著我們慢慢引領兒童走入印刷品世界，我們開始他們的第一步，了解印刷品如何記錄他們的語言和他人的話語以幫助他們打下初期基礎。 歡迎您加入我們的行列一起將教室變為語言豐富的環境，在那裡慶祝所有語言，並為兒童提供多種探索使用語言的方式的機會，和理解「閱讀」的世界。 請來參予與他人分享您如何與家庭建立夥伴的關係，使他們也能意識到自己的談話、唱歌和分享故事，也是在將語言天賦傳授給他們的孩子。 您將支持他們在語言和讀寫方面創造無限的機會。
