Igniting a Love of Literature in Our Littles

If we become too regimented with our little ones’ reading routines and restrict how much they are allowed to handle their own books, we are doing a big disservice to our children by constricting the expansion of their literary world.

By holding up a book in front of a young infant, the parent helps the baby learn to focus her eyes on single objects and small details. The baby will begin to be more aware of color, contrasting colors and patterns, designs, and shapes. She will begin to distinguish objects and other subjects from one another on the page.
