READING WITH YOUR CHILD
Reading and storytelling with babies and children promotes brain development and imagination, develops language and emotions, and strengthens relationships.
- Sometimes you can read. And sometimes you can look at picture books, sing songs or tell stories from your culture.
- Babies and young children often enjoy books, songs and stories with good rhyme, rhythm and repetition.
- Anytime is a good time for a book or story! Try to share at least one book or story each day.
Reading and sharing stories can:
- help your child get to know sounds, words and language, and develop early literacy skills
- learn to value books and stories
- spark your child’s imagination and stimulate curiosity
- help develop your child’s brain, ability to focus, concentration, social skills and communication skills
- help your child learn the difference between ‘real’ and ‘make-believe’
- help your child understand new or frightening events, and the strong emotions that come with them
- help your child learn about the world, their own culture and other cultures.
