Learning is enhanced when you take time to reflect on the process. Each week, you will have a reflective journal assignment that asks you to do just that. Submit a 200-300-word essay that answers the questions given. This is a graded learning assignment.

Discuss how you would explain to parents how literacy can help children reach typical language milestones and offer three suggestions for parents to use at home to promote this early language development.
