With the t-shirt comes a packet of materials which include tips on reading to infants. It has been shown that the single most important activity for building the knowledge for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to your child. On Reading to Infants and Toddlers Have a special reading routine established. Having a regular reading time helps a child know when to look forward to a story.
Timing is important.
Don't read to a fussy baby, but wait until the child is ready to sit still and pay attention. And, read when YOU are in the mood to do so. If you are having a bad day, it will show in your reading. Choose a book that is not only appropriate for the child, but that you like, too. This makes the experience more enjoyable for both of you, and you'll probably do a better job.
