Reading To Children
Is It Important?

Reading to children, especially babies and toddlers, is a great way to boost development, early reading skills and a great way for you to communicate and bond.

When choosing stories for your toddler, it is so important, to get the appropriate book for their stage of development.

We all know that it is important for our child to learn to read, but do you know how important it is that our children have a positive start to learning to read.

At 1 – 2 years old, your toddler will like to look at pictures in a book, with you as his entertainer and stories teller.

Make it exciting, fun and most of all enjoyable.

They will enjoy recognising familiar objects and animals. Your toddler will listen to you name the objects and animals, and may be able to repeat names and the sounds that animals make.

Any book that deals with events that your child is familiar with is usually successful, such as getting dressed, having a birthday party or going to the park.

Completing the series are Feeling Great! On The Go!, and Looking Good!, which was also short listed.

Babies and very young children will delight in lifting the flaps in these chunky board books to discover the feelings and features that they share with the array of animals and birds.

The themes and charming drawings are sure to engage the attention of your child and provide lots of scope for adult-child interaction.

One of the best educational books, to introducing letters to your toddler, is the Letter Land collection.

In our nursery the A B C Letter Land book and music CD, went down a storm. Children as young as two, enjoyed the story of each letter.

As long as the emphasis remains on having fun, they will absorb the teaching naturally.
