A community-based program in Providence, Rhode Island aims to reverse the verbal achievement gap between affluent and low-income families. On average, by the time they are 3 years old, children in professional families have heard about 30 million more words than children from lower-income households. Through a yearlong series of home visits, Providence Talks aims to coach low-income parents to speak more, and differently, to their children.
