Baby Your Baby - Give Birth to a Big Reader
There are a
lot of options out there when it comes to helping your baby's development along,
including piping Mozart to your child in the womb or teaching her to sign
shortly after she's born. But you're still giving your baby a great start
just by providing her with the building blocks she'll need to learn to read.
Just about all the important things that modern science suggests when it comes
to helping your baby's brain develop have been practiced by parents for
millennia. Now as ever, these steps are important:
Sing to your baby. Babies and toddlers love rhyme almost as much as they
love the soothing sound of your voice.
Talk to your baby. Even when your baby is tiny, talk to her as if
she already understands what you're saying. Use gestures, body language and tone
of voice to keep her attention and dramatize your message.
Imitate your baby. When she makes those first experimental sounds, make
them back to her. Your baby will feel how important she is to you, and
get excited by the effort of language.
Play "where's the?" games. Ask your baby, "Where's your toes?" "Find" her
toes and touch them, then switch the playing field to her fingers or nose.
Touch your baby. Whenever possible, hold your baby in your lap and
cuddle her while you talk or sing to her. Even when she's much older, she'll
still associate the warmth and coziness of this early experience with language.
Start out with books. Even as early as six weeks of age, you can start
introducing books to your baby. Pick bright, tactile books with clear pictures
of things your baby might recognize, like puppies or cribs. Sturdy books
they can touch or pet are ideal; look for classic "touch-and-feel" titles like
Baby Animal Kisses or Pat the Bunny. The classic fabric "Quiet
Book," with its embroideries, braids, buckles and buttons, is an unbeatable way
to interest a slightly older baby. Cuddle your baby in your lap and read
for short periods of time, so it never becomes arduous for either you or her.
