Drawing upon recent research findings and upon a case study of a
child learning to talk and to read, the author outlines the important
similarities in the development of both language and literacy. The
characteristics of parent-child interaction which support language
acquisition--semantic contingency, scaffolding, accountability
procedures, and use of routines facilitate early reading and writing
development. (Author/SSH)
