How to improve your baby's reading skills?


It's never too early to read to your baby. Read to your baby every day starting at six months of age. Reading and playing with books is a wonderful way to spend special time with her. Hearing words over and over helps her become familiar with them. Reading to your baby is one of the best ways to help her learn. Try one of those tips each week. See what works best for your child.

 
Create opportunities

·         To newborns (birth to six months), your voice is the best book of all. By listening to you, they‘ll learn how language works.

·         Make sure books are as easy to reach, hold, and look at as toys.

·         Talk with your baby. Describe the weather or which apples you are choosing at the grocery. By listening, your child learns words, ideas, and how language works.

·         Develop a daily routine and include reading in it

 
Make it fun

·         Choose books with bright and bold or high-contrast illustrations to grab young babies' attention. Between the ages of six months and one year, the hard, chewable cover of a board book is perfect for small hands.

·         Encourage your baby's coos and gurgles. When they babble to you, listen, smile, and talk. The more your baby practices making sounds, the clearer they will become.

·         Read favorite stories and sing favorite songs over and over again. Repeated fun with books will strengthen language development and positive feelings about reading.

 

Stop when your child signals you that he or she begins to tire of this activity.
