According to Arianne Weldon of Get Georgia Reading, spoken vocabulary to young children predicts reading growth! See Arianne Weldon’s chart below of a comparison between children from lower income with less vocabulary spoken to them versus middle income with greater vocabulary spoken to them in early years.
The reading gap increases every year between middle and lower income groups!
