"...There’s one thing that’s so easy parents can do it any time, any place — for free — and [babies] will love it: Talk to them and give their fledgling words your full attention."That's the crux of a recent article published in The Vancouver Sun, reminding parents that even though they might not understand what their babies are saying, it is important to listen and respond.
It also reminds parents to share nursery rhymes with babies and toddlers. Knowledge of nursery rhymes has a strong relation to early reading and spelling success. So, check out some Mother Goose books from the library, and chant or sing or simply read them with your little one.
