Short, positive interactions are more important than long ones. Read favourite books over and over and over. Repetition deepens understanding. Read in silly, exaggerated voices when speaking as different characters or narrating.
Read books with interaction like kisses and cuddles. Share books that have flaps, mirrors or textures and let your baby touch the book while reading. Talk with your baby all the time! Speak to your child in your home language. This will help them build a strong foundation to learn other languages. Narrate your day! Babies learn about the world and language through play. Create opportunities to play with toys, with household objects like empty food containers and wooden spoons and, most importantly, with you!
Play with different shapes balls, blocks, puzzles. This will help your child learn how letters are formed. Singing helps babies hear the little sounds in language. Don't underestimate the power of singing. It's a powerful tool for soothing an upset baby—and for helping to calm yourself during stressful moments.
Use songs to help babies settle down, but also helps them learn to predict regular routines like diaper changes and baths. Remember that your baby loves your voice more than any in the world! Give your baby lots of opportunities to explore shapes and textures—shape recognition is an important building block for learning letters later on.
When babies are old enough to hold objects, give them round crayons to make marks on paper. Embrace the mess—before bath times, spread some baby food or pudding on their tray and use fingers to draw, possibly on themselves! Babies love when you touch each finger, especially when they are still learning to use their hands. Awake in the middle of the night? The alphabet song doubles as a soothing lullaby that you can repeat over and over and over…. Find out how daily interactions help set up your child for a lifetime of learning.
