[00:00:08.355]It's never too early to start reading
[00:00:10.517]with your baby or your toddler.
[00:00:13.551]We are gonna look at some guidelines for choosing
[00:00:17.098]awesome books to read with your little ones.
[00:00:23.000]When looking for books for your infant,
[00:00:26.290]look for big, chunky board books
[00:00:28.460]or soft fabric books, even vinyl back books.
[00:00:31.830]They love the high contrast of black and white pictures
[00:00:34.944]and the simple stories and colors.
[00:00:40.093]When your baby is very little find a comfy spot
[00:00:44.030]for them to sit where they can see you
[00:00:46.040]turning the pages.
[00:00:47.900]Though they may not understand a lot of the story,
[00:00:51.300]they love hearing the sound of your voice
[00:00:53.956]and they are beginning to recognize that books
[00:00:57.240]are a part of calm and loving routine.
[00:01:07.190]As your baby grows you can offer simple board books
[00:01:11.210]with simple stories and rhymes and repeated phrases.
[00:01:15.573]Babies and toddlers also love looking at stories
[00:01:19.190]with pictures of other babies and familiar objects
[00:01:22.080]they see everyday.
[00:01:43.504]As you begin to read with your toddler,
[00:01:45.750]remember that it's about the connection between you
[00:01:48.760]and your child and sharing that reading time together.
[00:01:52.760]It's okay if you don't get to the end of the book.
[00:01:55.010]Allow them to interact as you read
[00:01:57.245]and point to things that they are excited about
[00:01:59.990]in the story.
[00:02:02.305]Gets his engine, slows his drum, dreams sweet dreams
[00:02:04.750]of swirly fun.
[00:02:06.820]Shhh, goodnight cement mixer, goodnight.
[00:02:10.776](baby talks excitedly)
[00:02:12.030]Dump truck loves to work.
[00:02:13.701](baby talks excitedly)
[00:02:14.687]Yeah, dump truck,
[00:02:15.520]loves to work and haul.
[00:02:17.290]He carries loads both big and small.
[00:02:19.970]He moves the dirt from place to place
[00:02:21.830]then dumps it with a happy face.
[00:02:23.990]One final load spills on the heap.
[00:02:26.160]Now dump truck's tired and wants to sleep.
[00:02:30.560]He lowers his bed, locks his gate, rests his wheels.
[00:02:33.960]As your child gets older
[00:02:35.700]they might be ready for books with regular pages
[00:02:38.367]and more engaging plots that they can follow
[00:02:41.172]and engage with.
[00:02:45.560]When your reading with your older toddler
[00:02:47.618]you can begin to ask questions about the story
[00:02:50.820]and make connections with other parts of their life
[00:02:54.810]and things that they know.
[00:02:56.690]Toddlers love repetition and they will read the same book
[00:03:01.380]over and over and over again.
[00:03:07.116]Ahh, peek a boo, who's that?
[00:03:09.268](toddler talks)
[00:03:10.101]Pig (makes oink sound)
[00:03:13.290]Remember book reading offers you time
[00:03:16.100]throughout your day to connect with your child
[00:03:18.540]to build their language skills and make reading
[00:03:21.390]a fun and important part of their life.
