A Child Language Expert Talks About The Literacy Gap And The '6 Cs' Of Learning
Abstract
Kathy Hirsh-Pasek is a psychology professor at Temple University, where she is also the Stanley and Debra Lefkowitz Faculty Fellow and director of Temple's Infant & Child Laboratory. Hirsh-Pasek said research showing that children in poverty usually hear far fewer words than their better-off counterparts is important. But she said this issue has been viewed too simplistically. Quality counts just as much as quantity, she said. The Notebook interviewed Hirsh-Pasek about early literacy and the challenges facing children who are learning to read.
