Atlanta Speech School debuts new video as part of a movement to stop the illiteracy epidemic

Video shows the impact of how adults talk with children The Atlanta Speech School, one of the nation’s most comprehensive centers for language and literacy, is calling for a change in the ecosystems of schools to encourage brain development and literacy.

Creating a coherent high quality system to teach children at home is one of the biggest challenges many parents face. Young children have an innate desire to learn. That desire can be supported or undermined by early experiences. The experiences that parents provide to their children are extremely critical since it can dramatically increase the child's chance to be successful later in life.
