Reading to Baby in a pleasant environment helps her learn that reading is pleasurable. It also helps her begin to decode language. Infants younger than six months can distingish a wide range of speech contrasts. By eight months many can distinguish familiar words from unfamiliar words.
Some kids are not exposed to reading and books until they go to school. Reading has so many benefits for language and social skills. It is never too early to start reading to kids!!

Hi Vanessa, thanks for the reminder that not all kids have the same advantages. Really makes me sad and want to reach out to more children. Thanks for the comment! Have a great day.
