Want to prepare your baby for a lifetime of success?
Make literacy a priority from the start.
Surround your child with spoken and written language. Speak, read, sing.
And model reading as a skill - and interest - of your own. (Remember there’s nobody your child wants to emulate more than you.)

Look at how attentive these little guys are. At this age, start small… even a minute or two at a time can help start a lifetime habit.
And never forget that literacy learning begins long before children enter kindergarten. Want them to do well in school? Don’t wait until they get there to begin.
Does/did your baby have favorite board books? I’d love to add them to my list.
