Pre-Reading Building Block
Talk to your baby when they make noises as if you are having a conversation. Say what you think they are thinking aloud throughout the day. Ex. When baby cries say something like, “I hear you. You must be very hungry! Let’s get some milk inside that belly of yours. There! I bet you feel much better now.” This may feel strange at first, but this effort will help your baby begin to understand a wide variety of words even before they are able to form them with their mouth.
Let's Play
This activity will help your child make connections to the text, which helps children improve comprehension.
Trace baby’s foot and/or hand on a sheet of paper. Draw stars around your tracings and decorate for a sweet early keepsake.
