🧠 Read Together¶
Tips for 🍼 Little Listeners (ages 0–3). Reading together for just 15 minutes a day builds vocabulary, focus and a lifelong love of stories.
- Snuggle up somewhere cozy. Your voice and your lap matter more than the screen.
- Point to the cover and name what you see: “Look, a bear! What does a bear say?”
- Pause on a page and point at pictures together. Name colors, animals and faces.
- Copy the sounds in the story — moos, splashes, knocks. Babies learn language from your rhythm.
- Re-read favorites. Repetition is how little brains learn words.
- Act out one part of the story with a toy or stuffed animal.
- Can you find your favorite picture?
- What sounds did you hear in the story?
- What colors did you see?
