BOOKS FOR BABIES

When selecting books for babies it's important to understand that the primary purpose is to model reading techniques. 
  • Book sharing with babies is more about interaction than reading.
  • Babies are stimulated more by books that encourage an activity like bouncing, or moving. 
  • Don't expect to read a book from beginning to end. 
  • Babies are interested in grabbing and holding the book themselves. 
  • Make sure it's a pleasurable experience, if the baby is upset don't force it.
