Backyard Brain Building
Some childrenare fortunate…
Books From BirthAAP Literacy Recommendations
• Begin daily shared reading beginning as soon as possible after birth, which…
“…stimulates optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens parent-child
relationships at a critical time in child development, which, in turn, builds
language, literacy, and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime.”
TV for Toddlers?AAP Screen Time Recommendations
• Avoid before 18-24 months old
• Discourage TV/screens in sleeping areas
“Because of their immature symbolic, memory, and attentional skills, infants and toddlers
cannot learn from traditional digital media as they do from interactions with caregivers…”
Such as READING TOGETHER!
Reading! Our favorite higher-order skill
• Cultural invention• 6000 years old
• No hardwired brain network
• “Recycle” visual, language, and other brain networks emergent literacy
• Predictable sequence in typically developing readers• Note: books with pictures no pictures
“Neurons that fire together, wire together”
• Early: Vision, hearing, joint attention
• Protracted: higher-order cognitive skillsLanguage, executive function, creativity, sense of self & others (empathy)
Visual imagery: comprehension, learning, mental health

Studies 4 & 5: Influence of Story Format on Brain Network Connectivity in 3-5 year-olds
“Goldilocks Effect”
Too cold! Just right… Too hot!
“Goldilocks Effect”Differences in Functional Brain Network Connectivity (FC) Between Story Formats
Illustration> Audio Animation > Illustration
“Too Hot” Global decrease in network FC
Focal visual perception Less efficient scaffolding Blunt imagery & sense of self Less “boost” for learning
“Just Right” Reduced strain on
language network Scaffolding by pictures
+ imagery Sense of self Cerebellar “boost”
“see”
“boost”
“self”
“imagine” “comprehend”

Story Time!
1. Read Early and Often!
2. Establish a routine starting in infancy (SHARE/STEP)
3. Dialogic Reading!
Coming soon!
4. Screen-free Until Three!
