Children love to hear the human voice.
Even babies find great comfort in listening to voices. Start sharing books in infancy. Choose children's books with brightly colored, simple pictures. As you read, let children point to the pictures, talk about what is happening, and tell which characters they like best. Read with lots of enthusiasm.
