What can I do to help improve my student's speech and language skills?One very important thing you can do for your child’s speech and language development is to READ. Read to your child. Read with your child. Have your child read or pretend to read. Don't be afraid to read the same books over and over again. Repetition is good for them.

When you read predictable, age-appropriate books to a child, you provide the opportunity to hear the sounds and structure of language.
Having a child name objects in a book or read aloud to you can strengthen her ability to organize her words and thoughts.
Reading aloud to young children is one of the best activities to stimulate language and cognitive skills; it also builds motivation, curiosity, and memory. (Bardige, B. Talk to Me, Baby!(2009), Paul H Brookes Pub Co.)
Reading aloud stimulates language development even before a child can talk.
