    Parents should constantly speak to their children from the moment of birth. As the child is the receiver, the child is absorbing the language through his/her parents, which he/she will later on implement throughout his/her daily life (Berk and Winsler, 1995). Through spoken language, the child encounters new vocabulary; therefore parents or guardians need to use a variety of vocabulary to help the child broaden his/her range of vocabulary, as the parents or guardians are their child 's language role models (Dickinson and Tabors, 2001). As the child starts to develop and begins to experiment in speaking, the parents or guardians should be at the child 's assistance in building on what he/she has heard his/her parents say and perform it in his/her language base. As learning starts from the home environment, each family member should help the child understand and put in practice language on a daily basis (Berk and Winsler,
