BORN LEARNING

Born Learning, a School Readiness Initiative


Children are born ready and eager to learn, and their experiences during the first years of life impact their future chances for success in school, work and life. Those first years of a child’s life provide the foundation for future success because that’s when the brain’s architecture – the structure of the brain – is being built.
 
With the right kinds of interactions, a baby’s brain architecture becomes strong. Research shows that when adults interact with young children – talking, singing and playing rhyming games – they stimulate language and vocabulary development and build important foundations for learning to read.
