In this week's episode of First Time Mum's Chat, I'm talking with certified Academic Language Practitioner, Sarah Scheldt about why it is important to talk to your baby.

During our chat you'll hear Sarah talk about:-

• How you can start creating language development that leads to literacy development as early as the 3rd trimester of your pregnancy instead of waiting until after birth.
• Why you need to avoid the use of 'baby talk' and instead talk to your baby using your regular speech style.
• The importance of helping to develop their phonemic awareness using rhythms and melodies.
• The importance of encouraging your little one to develop their imagination to help them evolve into better problem solvers.

And much more...
