As I consider my own language development journey, I think about my sister who is 7 years older than me. She was very instrumental in my language and literacy development. Besides my mother and father, she was my teacher. She fostered Augean development by way of dramatic play. Every day we played "School" she was my teacher and I was her student. She taught me how to write and read before I started kindergarten. She was a part of my home environment which included rich print and conversation. I am forever grateful for her teachings.
