Many parents think, “My baby doesn’t understand words yet, why should I read a book to them?” However, experts highly recommend reading books to babies from day one. 0-3 year old storybooks are one of the first solid bridges the baby builds with the world.

The Magic of Sound

Even if babies do not know the meaning of words, they perfectly feel the rhythm, emphasis, and emotions. 0-3 year old storybooks read in the parent’s familiar and reassuring voice stimulate the language centers in the brain. These rhythmic readings help the baby pronounce their own words more easily and properly in the future. Simple rhymes in books attract their attention and increase their focus time.
