Reading with babies
What babies like:
• to sit close and to see the book and your face
• to look at and listen to the world around them
• to touch objects with different textures (soft, smooth, prickly)
• to move to the rhythm of stories and music
• to look at one book over and over again
• to hold the book and help turn the pages
• to look at books about family, food, animals and colours.
Share rhymes, songs and stories
every day
