It’s never too early to read to your children! By having your baby exposed to literacy related activities as early as possible it will help them develop the skills necessary for later in life.
Here are few tips to help in engaging your infant:
- Select books with simple, bold and colourful shapes. These type of books also have simple text, one or two lines of print per page with repeated phrases. Hearing words over and over helps children become familiar with language.
- Choose nursery rhymes or songs with simple sentence structure.
- Make the story come alive by using different voices and facial expressions. Your baby will develop critical listening skills.
