If a child comes from an economically deprived home with a mom who has a poor vocabulary, by age 3 his fate just maybe sealed. He will possibly never catch up in school and have life long struggles with learning. The average child growing in a middle-class family has been exposed to 1,000 to 1,700 hours of one-on-one picture reading before entering school whilst the average child in a low-income family has only been exposed to 25 hours of one-on-one picture reading during the same period!
