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
