Reading to your baby is easy!

• Talk, sing, and tell nursery rhymes to your baby - that is how your baby bonds with you and learns language.



• It is never too early to begin sharing books with your baby. Your baby will love sharing books with you.



• Show your baby the book and point to the pictures. Touch your baby when sharing books.



• Talk in a fun and excited voice. Tell a story about the pictures that get your baby's attention. Stop when your baby loses interest.



• Let your baby drool on, play with, and chew the book. It is made for it.



• Change television time to book time. Your baby needs contact with you and other loved ones.



• Visit your local library. The children's librarian will lend you more books for free!
