Look for Books! The books that you pick to read with your child is very important. If you arent sure of what books are right for your child, ask a librarian to help you choose titles. Introduce your child to books when she or he is a baby. Let her/him hold and play with books made just for babies: board books with study cardboard covers and thick pages; cloth books that are soft and washable, touch-and-feel books, or lift-the-flap books that contain surprises for your baby todiscover. Choose books with covers that have big, simple pictures of things that she/he sees every day. Dont be upset if at first your child chews or throws a book. Be patient. Cuddling with the child as you point to and talk with great excitement about the books pictures will sooncapture her interest. When your baby becomes a toddler, she will enjoy helping to choose books for you to read to her. As your child grows into a preschooler and kindergartner,the two of you can look for books that have longer stories and more words on the pages. Also look for books that have repeating words and phrases that she can begin to read orrecognize when she sees them. By early first grade, add to this mix some books designed for beginning readers, including some books that have chapters and some books that show photographs and provide true information rather than make-believe stories.Keep in mind that young children most often enjoy books about people, places, and things that are like those they know. The books can be about where you live or about parts of your culture, such as your religion, your holidays, orthe way that you dress. If your child has special interests, such as dinosaurs or ballerinas, look for books about those interests. From your childs toddler years through early first grade, you also should look for books of poems and rhymes. Remember when your baby heard your talking sounds and tried to imitate them? Rhymes are an extension of that language skill. By hearing and saying rhymes, along with repeatedwords and phrases, your child learns about spoken sounds and about words. Rhymes also spark a childs excitement about what comes next, which adds fun and adventure to reading.
