Reading (birth - 33 months)

Babies love babies! Share books with your baby that contain pictures of people, especially babies.

Your baby will love “reading” a family photo book—or any kind of simple, homemade book you create.

Rhyming books are not only appealing to your baby, they help him learn, too!

For active toddlers, find books that that they can touch-and-feel, scratch-and-sniff, and lift up flaps and windows.

Nonfiction for toddlers? Yes! Concept books about shapes, colors, numbers, and other topics, helps your child learn about the world around her.

Nursery rhymes and poetry for little ones offer rich language, new words, and patterns of language.
