Sharing Books with Young Children
It is never too early to begin instilling the love of reading in children. Even when children are too young to understand the words, it’s important to find ways to share books with babies and toddlers. Babies enjoy hearing songs and stories, and by starting early, you will teach your child that books are fun. Board books are especially useful for the young ones, and as your child matures, she can turn the pages as you talk through the story.
