Parental Reading to Infants Improves Language Score: A Rural Family Medicine Intervention

Introduction: Both expressive and receptive language development begins early in life. While the benefits of reading to toddlers (over 12 months old) is well-established, benefits of reading to infants (birth to 12 months old) is less established. This study's objective is to determine if consistent reading to infants improves expressive and receptive language development during the first year of life.Methods: We prospectively randomized infants at a family medicine clinic during their 2-week-old visits and gave them a collection of books. Group A (n = 16) received no instructions, while patients in Group B (n = 18) committed to read 1 book a day. Parents in Group C (n = 18) enrolled after 34 weeks gestation, committed to read 1 book a day, and watch an infant brain development video. We obtained average book counts and both expressive and receptive language testing at standard preventative visits through 12 months.Results: Language scores did not differ between randomized groups. Always reading 7 books per week led to higher expressive, receptive and combined language scores at 9 months than sometimes reading fewer than 7 books per week (P = .025, 0.009 and 0.011 respectively). These differences increased by 12 months (P = .004, 0.002, and 0.003, respectively). Instructing parents to read daily encouraged parents to read more books per week at 4 months (P = .031) and 6 months (P = .049).Discussion: Early, consistent reading demonstrates improved language scores as early as 9 months of age. Setting expectations of minimal daily reading impacted daily reading compliance early in life.

“…A child’s early learning and language environment is an important, yet historically overlooked, social determinant of health. 1 -4 Poverty and toxic stress in early childhood are major barriers to optimal cognitive development and significant contributors to disparities in cognitive abilities and achievement later in life. 5,6 These systemic inequities are striking; fewer than half of the children growing up in low-income families are ready for school by the age of 5 years, compared with 75% of children raised in higher-income families.…”

In this study, we aimed to create a novel tool to assist providers at 2 Chicago-area Federally Qualified Health Centers in giving guidance on early cognitive and language development during well-child visits. We utilized a human-centered design (HCD) process to address specific barriers to providing this guidance and create a tool shaped by the needs of providers and parents. Phase I involved collaborative prototype design; phase II involved implementation, feedback gathering, and responsive iterations of the tool; and phase III involved a collective review of the HCD process. The final version of the tool was a concise, colorful, and parent-accessible “Brain Building Guide” intended for interactive provider and parent use. It featured personalized information about parental knowledge and suggested areas for guidance. It was both satisfactory to stakeholders and efficacious in improving parental knowledge immediately post-visit and 1 month out. It should be further evaluated in a randomized controlled trial.
