CHILDCARE: BOOKS
Exposing your child to books from an early age is one of the most positive early learning experiences you can give him. You can start off with picture books, pointing our items in pictures and encouraging the child to mimic your sounds or repeat tne vvords. This can begin in the first year of life.
Reading your child a regular story as part of the routine of going to bed at night stimulates his curiosity and his understanding that books give pleasure. As a toddler he can sit on your knee and look at pictures as you read simple story books. If his interest in books has been stimulated, it will only be a matter of time before he will request favourite books or stories.
You can begin taking your child to the local library from an early age. Many libraries offer special programs for young children, such as regular daytime storytelling sessions in the children’s section of the library.
As your child gets older and begins to read, he can choose his own library books, can help choose a book to buy from the local bookshop. Being exposed to suitable books and listening to stories read to him can help him get off to a good start at school. Reading to a young child also creates some very special time for a parent- Is there anything more special than a child sitting on a parent’s knee, eyes wide with anticipation, as the pages are slowly turned and the story unfolds? Having i regular daily reading time also helps the child modulate his activity levels, so that in addition to energetic, vigorous, pursuits he also learns to sit quietly and concentrate.
