| Infants shows enjoyment when you read and share books |
Reading
to your children usually takes place in warm secure surroundings, with
close body contact, and lots of affection. Add to this the
enjoyment of looking at familiar animals and objects, the sounds of rhyming language, and repetitive sequences such
as, "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!", or the climax of, "...and this little piggy ran all the way home!" accompanied by a tickle on the tummy, and youngsters soon learn that reading stories is fun. It won't be long before the infant begins to pick out favourite books and wants you to read them. |
