Write each letter of the alphabet on a separate sheet of construction paper. Have your child find magazine pictures or draw original ones for each letter. Paste the pictures under each letter. Punch holes in the paper and bind the pages with a colorful piece of yarn. Get elected officials, community leaders, and celebrities to read with children in your community.
Infants love to hear reading aloud.
Keep reading once your child starts school. Pick a comfortable spot. Read slowly, with feeling. Talk about the pictures. Ask your child to guess what's coming next.
