Why Reading from Birth Matters
Children who are read to from birth develop larger vocabularies, stronger literacy skills, and greater empathy. Reading together is one of the best investments in your child future.
Reading by Age Group
Babies 0-12 months
Choose board books with high contrast images. Your baby loves the sound of your voice more than the words themselves.
Toddlers 1-3 years
Choose books with repetition, rhyme and simple stories. Let your toddler turn pages and point to pictures.
Preschoolers 3-5 years
Choose books with engaging stories. Encourage your child to predict what happens next.
