Reading books to children from an early age has several benefits. The first is to allow you and your baby to share a special moment of affection that will be remembered for a long, long time! His voice is, in those first months of life, the most wonderful sound in the world for him. Reading a story, therefore, he will feel even more welcomed and loved.
Although the child does not yet understand the meaning of the words, he gradually assimilates the context through intonation and phonemes (the sounds of letters and syllables). And it is also stimulated in the physical, cognitive and emotional aspects. In the long run, the memory and concentration will be sharper and the child, in addition to enjoying the reading, will be more curious, creative and with a wider vocabulary.
What books to read for the child?
Not sure what kind of book to read to your child? Follow the following concepts:
Colors
Bet on contrasts – black / white, yellow / red – and primary tones, great for grabbing attention.
animals
Books with animal stories or that simulate the sound they make are also a good choice.
opposites
Big / small, high / low, light / dark and thick / thin are some of the good concepts to work with at this stage.
plots
Books that children can touch and feel different materials stimulate sensoriality. Take the opportunity to make the report: the alligator’s tail is rough, the cat’s fur is soft …
Bath time
In the mouth you can put plastic or rubber books, made with the same material as the buoys. In addition to pictures and reading, the child receives a toy and associates reading with fun.
Song
With buttons to press or type, they also arouse interest in musicality.
Poetry
Orality and the combination of words have a totally calming effect on the little ones.
