Creating time and space to look at books helps lay the foundation for language learning and literacy.
Example Situation
Example Situation
When your child is just waking up or before he is ready to take a nap, this is a great time to share a book. Board books are sturdy and have bright colors to engage a child. Reading the same book lots of times helps the child know what is going to happen and gives them the repetition needed to learn the language.
*Consider WHEN you are going to read to your child
*Pick a book that is fun for you and your child-- if you like bears, pick a book about bears!
*Set the child up so they can see the pictures and hear what you are saying
*Use different voices and vocal play to talk about the pictures
