Read to your child every day. Sit where the two of you are comfortable and focus on<br />

the pictures rather than the words. Point to the pictures and name the objects.<br />

Choose books with rhymes and funny words.<br />

When you read with your child use a pleasant voice to let him know you enjoy reading<br />

together. Stop reading when your child loses interest.<br />

Use a puppet or stuffed animal to tell stories to your child instead of reading a book.<br />

Have lots of books available for your child to“read”. Choose books with large,colorful<br />

pictures showing things your one year old will find interesting. Include books about<br />

people of different cultures and abilities.<br />

Do not be surprised to find your child carrying books around with her.<br />

Model the joy of reading by sharing books that you enjoy.<br />

Sing rhyming finger plays and songs with your child.
