The three main parts to it are:

🗣Talk you can talk to your children day and night about anything even if they can't respond just talk to your kids. 

📖Read books, signs, magazines, posters, newspapers. etc. reading to them gives them words they will later be able to use as they get older.

🎼Sing singing makes good memories for you and your family. It doesn't matter if you can't sing, kids love to hear your voices.  

As parents/caretakers we have the opportunity and privilege to help our kids get the best start possible. The best part about it is we already have everything we need in us. This training is useful for all.
