How to support development
• Talk and sing to your baby or toddler
• Take them places, show them things, help them learn about the world around them
• Have a consistent, positive routine
• Share books with them…but how?

How do you help parents get started sharing books with their babies?
• Think like Maslow.
• Have age-appropriate expectations.
• Choose the right books.
• Have fun!

Your client makes these statements. How would you answer her and where on Maslow’s pyramid would you find the answer?

What to expect , when…
• As with any other kind of development, there is a wide range of time when each child develops a skill.
• Studies have shown that babies can hear an recognize stories even before they are born.
• What is possible?

Much More Than ABCs book behaviors in an ASQ timeline
“How a particular baby interacts with a particular book at a particular time depends on • that baby’s style of interacting
with the world in general, • on the baby’s past book-
playing and book- reading experiences,
• on the characteristics of the books at hand, and
• on the general level of development the baby has achieved with respect to motor and language skills.”
Much More Than ABC’s by Schickedanz, pg. 29
• Look over the behaviors your table has
• Decide when you might see this behavior in an infant or toddler
• Place the behavior on the timeline

Books that work for babies
■ Chewable books—soft plastic, fabric, washable ■ Board books, or books with sturdy pages ■ Books with simple, bold pictures with contrasting backgrounds (helps eyes focus) ■ Rhyming books or books with simple songs (rhyme and repetition are soothing) ■ Books showing familiar routines or characters (i.e. getting ready for bed—Goodnight Moon, eating, Elmo) ■ Lift-the-Flap books (7 months and up) ■ Point-and-Say books, where child can name objects (9 months and up) ■ Touch-and-Feel books, like Pat the Bunny

Books that work for toddlers
■ Books with more detailed pictures and a few words on each page (i.e. I Spy Little books) ■ Story books about every day experiences—sitting on a potty chair, playing with a new toy, or leaving your toy at Grandma’s house, or bumping your head ■ Short stories like The Carrot Seed (toddlers need to move around) ■ Active books that invite them to dance, clap, and sing along ■ Predictable books where sentences repeat, words rhyme, or make simple patterns ■ Lift-the-Flap books ■ Touch-and-Feel books

Book-Sharing Strategies
Babies
• It’s never to early to start
• How to hold them and read
• Keep books handy
• Watch for cues + waves, kicks, reaches, focuses on you or book, smiles, coos, grabs, points, makes happy sounds, turns pages
- Tightens muscles, looks away, whines, cries, pushes books away or closes it
Toddlers
• Don’t give up because they are moving. Get ACTIVE!
• Keep books handy
• Let child choose, read frequently in short spurts
• Repeat favorites!
• Watch for cues + stays, listens, chimes in, turns pages
- squirms, wanders off, pays no attention, says “no!”

So how do you hold and infant and read at the same time?

Stop if you are not having fun.

Do you feel ready?
• To explain to parents how literacy learning
starts early?
• To help “read their child” and choose the best times for book sharing?
• To help them choose books that will work?
• To show them how to actively engage their baby or toddler?
• To answer their questions?
