Read and Discuss Stories

Toddler

(Ages 1-3)

Re-read.
Toddlers learn through repetition, so it is normal when they want to read a favorite book over and over. Notice how proud they feel when they master the story. But try for variety, too, because new books offer new things to see learn.

Infant

(Ages 0-1)

Name that.
Name and talk about the parts of the pictures that interest your child or that they point at.
