Five tips baby can readTeaching Babies to Read - Five Tips to Help Baby Read It is never too early to start your baby on the road to reading. They can be introduced to reading at the same time as they learn to make sounds, articulate words, and form sentences. Reading should be enjoyed by both parents and children as a way to create interest, wonder, and creativity, as well as to strengthen intellectual bonds. Here are 5 simple ways to introduce the joy of reading to your baby: When introducing your baby to reading, be happy about it. Read with vigor and delight. If you look at reading as a positive experience, your baby will too. Remember to always use different voice inflections and gestures. Your baby will be more engaged this way.  Add new books to your baby's collection. Show them big books, small books, books with textures, and books with colors. Your baby should be stimulated by a variety of books. They will benefit from a varied vocabulary too. Read freely without expectation. It takes time to introduce your child to reading. If your baby is staring up at the ceiling, don't take it personally. Just use your voice to real them back in. Read for joy, not for reward. When you read, point to the words. To a developing baby, words are just a blob of black ink on a page. Use your index finger to point out letters and punctuation too. It is never too early for your child to start making connections. Read to your baby as often as you can. Even though they might not be able to tell you so, babies are making cognitive connections constantly. They are seeing that letters make sounds, and that pictures that are drawn on a page represent characters. As a parent, you will instill a joy of reading in your child if you follow these 5 simple tips. A child introduced early to reading will embrace books as they get older. From infancy, to school, to the workplace and beyond, a love of reading will benefit your baby for life.
