Its never too early to read
Reading to your baby can help them to develop language skills, while also building a bond with you. Your voice, and being close to you, are two of your baby’s favourite things, so seeing and hearing you read will be much more fascinating to them than anything else. When choosing books to read with your baby you can consider things like:
–Repetition: Repetition helps babies learn language patterns.
–Texture: Different textures allow babies to hear, see, and feel the book.
– Durability: Books made of cloth, soft plastic, or sturdy cardboard are easier for babies to handle.
–Themes: Books about feeding, bathing, playing, and being outside can be relatable for babies.
–Illustrations: Bright colors, high contrast, and large pictures are easier for babies to see.
–Rhymes: Rhymes help babies learn how words sound.
Reading to your baby not only supports their language development but also creates special moments of connection between you. Every giggle, touch, and response helps build their early literacy skills in a fun and engaging way!
