Make reading part of your everyday routine.
When you read the words, whenever possible, act them out too!

Pre-Reading Building Block
Families look at photos or talk about people, pets, and things they love before reading. Encourage toddlers to point and name familiar people.
Let's Play
Families draw simple hearts, give hugs, or say “I love you” to each other after reading. Toddlers can decorate paper hearts with stickers or crayons.
