Labeling This is putting labels on objects. For example, house, plane, boat, flower, etc. This is something that is done fairly early in language development. Parents almost naturally label items which their baby shows interest in. Reading Reading is an important step in language development.
Parents can begin to read simple baby books to their baby from birth.
Books should be available for the toddler to look at by his own choice. For infants and toddlers, hard board books are available at book stores if parents are worried about the child tearing the pages.
