Sharing Books With Babies/Early Book Stages
Learn how to share books with infants and toddlers.
While we can’t expect infants and toddlers to learn to read and write yet, they are nevertheless developing skills that provide a foundation for later literacy. When you share books with your very young child, you support emerging literacy as you:
• help your child learn that pictures and words are symbols that can be interpreted;
• expose your child to new words, thereby increasing her vocabulary; and
• familiarize your child with the conventions of print
Participants will be mailed the DVD along with the assignment within 48 hours of registration. All DVDs are due back within 2 weeks.
