I wish I could find the article I read recently on a study of language
delays. The basic finding was that children in poverty hear many less
words during the first 3 years and thus cannot build the vocabulary
that many middle class children build easily. It's not a matter of
quantity, but of the quality of communication as well. The children
who succeed in school and with reading simply have a much greater
exposure to words and talking and problem solving through talking than
kids who do not succeed have.
Yea that makes sense. People who are poor don't talk. Only the rich people
can afford diversionary crap like computer games and Barney the Dinosaur
videotapes.
If people are not wealthy they are more likely to spend their time talking
than in the timewasters of today's technological age not the reverse.
All the wealthier people are is more educated in the mores and cultures of
their particular class
It has a LOT to do with books that are available and read to children.
They learn an incredible amount of background knowledge and language
from books.
