Bedtime stories are rich with learning opportunities.
First, reading aloud to your little one daily is a fantastic vocabulary builder.
Stories offer up a wide array of language - including words you may be less likely to use during your regular day-to-day interactions.
Infants who are read to daily demonstrate a 40% greater vocabulary at 18-months.
Want to give your baby a head start? You could hardly choose a better way than daily reading.
And just look at what this little one knows about how books work. She’s an expert page turner, and is learning that we turn only one at a time.
But my very favorite part of this video is how our hero splits her attention between the book and dad’s face.
His reading voice is a little different from his regular speaking voice as he matches the author’s words and cadence, and she’s fascinated to see just how he’s doing it.
Read, talk and sing with your baby. The dividends will amaze you - and set them up for a lifetime of success.
