sallyg said: Interesting, maybe, is a webinar I did recently stressing the importance of back and forth conversation for little kids literacy. Is more important/higher quality than just making sure they hear words and sounds all day ...

That kind of makes sense. How much time do mothers spend babbling back to their little ones? We learn language by conversation with others, so it's not surprising that literacy has a similar component.
