Reading Together: Tiny Moments That Grow Language
A warm, research-grounded episode on shared reading: what the evidence says, what it does not prove, and how to make books feel easier and more connected at home.
Episode guide
This episode looks at shared reading with babies, toddlers, and young children. It explains why the helpful part is often the back-and-forth around the page, what the research does and does not prove, three myths to let go of, and five low-pressure ways to make books feel more connected at home.
This is general parenting education and is not medical advice. If you have concerns about speech, hearing, vision, development, or behavior, talk with your child's pediatrician or early intervention program.
