Talk With Me!: A Learning Sciences Exchange Fellows' Project

Research confirms that conversations between parents and children foster children’s brain processing, language and cognitive development. Sacha Kyle, Melissa Hogenboom, Meredith Rowe, and Elizabeth Shuey's project aims to promote high- quality conversational turn-taking among caregivers and young children so that all children have opportunities to thrive and build strong foundations for success at school and beyond. They’ve started by developing a Public Service Announcement and set of animations called Talk with Me!
