Don't Forget Baby Time! Friday April 24th 10AM
20 Minutes of Books, Bounces, Bubbles, Songs, and Rhymes

Early Lteracy Skill: Print Motivation
For the very young, such as infants and babies, let them play with books as they would anyother toy. Read them books 15 minutes a day to make them apart of their life from the beginning. As they get older get them involved in the story by having them say repeated phrases or help make sounds of characters / animals. When they get older than pre-school, come up with related activities like crafts or even just going to see animals mentioned. Most of all, to motivate an interest in the printed word: KEEP READING FUN! Make sure that you do not force it, let them pick books of their own interest, and pick good times to read to them.
