I know my mom read to me when I was little. I drove her crazy with Dr. Seuss books when I was real young. I imagine it did help my speaking some too. I had mastoid ear infection when I was very little so 50% of my hearing was blocked at one point and words didn't always sound right when I spoke them. One time I said 'fork' and my paternal grandmother thought I'd said something very different. Which isn't to say that adults don't need to be careful of their language round little ears as well. But that's another topic.
