Suggestions for reading with your baby or toddler
First, be comfortable, cozy and relaxed - both of you!
Next, make sure your child can see the book the right way up as you read.
- Point at pictures and say or ask names of things (depending on your child's age).
- Use a slow sing-song voice as you read.
- Use different voices for different characters - be entertaining!
- Spend time talking about the pictures before turning the page.
- Say a name and ask your older baby or toddler to point to the item.
- Give huge praise each time your child points at and names an object.
