Tips for Reading to Babies
- Share a book with your baby every day. Even a few minutes makes a difference.
- Talk with your baby while you read, and show your baby that reading is fun.
- When you read, point to pictures, ask questions, and talk about what they’re seeing. When they babble to you, listen, smile, and talk.
- Read the same books over and over again. One to two year olds love to hear the same words again and again.
- Read when your baby is rested and in a good mood. If your child gets restless, it’s okay to stop for now.
- Cuddle up and sing your favorite children’s songs.
- Use every moment you have. At bath time, bedtime, bounce time, say nursery rhymes, sing lullabies, play pat-a-cake, count toes – and let your baby listen.
