how to read to your child

It can be hard to keep babies and toddlers focused and engaged while you read to them. Here are our tips to make sure you and your child have fun reading:

try to share at least one book each day and have a special reading space like a chair, couch or bean bag that is large and comfortable.
make reading relaxed and fun for your child to look towards. Pick a time when they’re not tired or in a rush, and be sure to turn off the TV.
Hold your child close so they can see your face and the book.
Engage your child in reading by talking about the pictures, making fun sounds, and pointing out interesting things.
Let your child choose her favorite book and get ready to read it again and again. repetition is how they learn.
teach your child to treasure books and treat them with respect.
fill your home with books so your child can easily reach them at any time time.
take books to places where you have to wait a long time, like the doctor’s office.

what to look for when choosing a book

Choosing a good book for your baby or toddler is just as important as the environment in which you read to him. Here are our suggestions for finding the perfect children’s book:

Books with rhyme, rhythm, and repetition are always winners.
Short books with thick pages that little fingers can easily turn will help keep their attention. For babies, board books are especially helpful.
Books about a favorite theme, like animals, cars, princesses, space, trains, and families, are great.
Stories that relate to your child’s current environment are a smart way to teach them about their life or prepare them for changes like potty training, going to school, or moving to a new house.
flip-up, textured, and pop-up books are wonderful for 1-year-olds because it allows them to interact and engage with the book.
look for books with just a little bit of text on each page so you don’t overwhelm your child.
