About - Talking Is Teaching

“Talking is Teaching: Talk, Read, Sing” is a public awareness and action campaign that helps parents and caregivers recognize their power to boost their children’s early brain and language development through simple, everyday actions – like describing things while walking outside, or singing songs together during bath time.

Using four main strategies – People, Places, Resources, and Media – Talking is Teaching meets families where they are with fun and easy ways to improve their babies’ learning.

Talking is Teaching is a campaign of Too Small to Fail, the early childhood initiative of the Clinton Foundation.
