In this podcast series, kids from the Illawarra come together to share stories and speak to experts about how we all can get more words to little kids. "The 30 Million Word Gap" is a study that showed that the more words we hear when we're very young, the better chance we have at a bright future! That's what this series is all about.
To kick us off, we jump into a conversation with Donna Bartley from ECTARC(Early Childhood Training and Resource Centre) about why we need more words.
Then we dive into a cheeky fictional story- a big sister helps her little sister discover her first word... "Words to Get a Friend".
We finish off the episode with Maggie Dent- Australia's beloved parenting author, speaker and podcaster- who gives us an insight into how young brains digest words.
