Points to Remember

 

  • Reading together helps develop a bond between carer and child

  • Reading should always be fun

  • sing and read stories and rhymes out loud

  • choose simple, bold pictures with familiar objects

  • point out the pictures as you go along

  • keep repeating things

  • don't go on if your baby seems tired or not in the mood - have another try later
