Description
Introduction Research continues to support the need for conscious and sustained language development in children at a very early age. (1) Some of this research even implies that the language use of a two year old is an indicator of how well that age child will read in later graders. Further, research seems to indicate that the more developed a child's use of language, the better he or she will do in life. This indicates clearly the importance of language development not only in young children but also in very young children. This article, then, discusses some background information on the need for sustained language development in very young children and then introduces the reader to educationalist Charlotte Mason and discusses her use of narration. Finally, it ends with some suggestions toward improving the language development of very young children, with the aim of impacting their reading abilities later in elementary school. Although I do not mention disadvantaged children consistently throughout the article, the intent is to help those who are involved in making public policy and those who work with children see the importance of language development in very young children especially in underprivileged children.
