So how do you get the most out of reading to your baby? There is a way to do so. Help your child make connections with the story to the world they live in. For instance lets say there are two ball in your story. The first balls is yellow and the second ball is red. Which color does the child like better? When your baby is little your may decide which color to choose, but as they get older the child may pick.
So what are the best ways to read to your child? When reading stories make it a time to cuddle for example right at bedtime. This will strengthen your bond with you and your child. Don't worry about finishing a story. Point out pictures when you read and then next time let the child find them. As the child becomes older increase the length and difficulty of the book.
Experts strongly suggest not using audiobooks or other sources of media, because babies and children need to feel the emotional connection by the words on the pages.
Reading to your Infants reinforces:
- speech development
- hear the rhythmic sounds
- The more you read to your child the stronger your bond will be to your child
- builds vocabulary, stimulates imagination, and improves communication skills
- Reading to a baby introduces concepts of stories, numbers, letters, colors, and shapes, and gives them information about the world around them
- By the time your baby is one years old your baby has already learned all the sounds they need to speak your native language
- when your child hears a variety of words the better they will be able to speak
