Babies are Soothed by the Sound of Your Voice and Touch

SOOTHED BY SOUND of YOUR VOICE and TOUCH

Hold your baby or have your young child sit in your lap when you read out loud to her. Babies and young children are soothed by the sound of your voice and your touch.  Your child will learn to associate the warmth of this personal contact with books .  Read to her every day.  She will develop a love of reading.
