Some ammunition for your emergent literacy elevator speech.

Study finds that Baby Einstein videos are actually bad for babies.

What is good for babies (i.e., increases their vocabulary), shockingly enough, is being read to, spoken to, and interacted with. (And then, hopefully, they grow up knowing better than to end their sentences with prepositions.)

Thanks for stopping by my blog! You have some good links here about babies and emergent literacy that I'll follow up on tomorrow.

Just wanted to say that I think you will really like seeing Boots and Temp in the last two Underland books. (She learns the alphabet and meets another "pincess.")
