Sharing five ativities regularly - talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing - with him will prepare him for reading.</p> <p>We now know that from the moment they are born, they are learning about the world around them, processing input, making hypotheses, and coming to conclusions. A baby's brain &nbsp;already weighs 25% of its adult weight; it has a lot of work to do!</p> <p>It is never too soon to start talking with your child. As children hear spoken language, they learn new words and what they mean. They learn about the world around them and important general knowledge. Fifteen minute snippets of talking and listening while you are cooking, putting on makeup, driving, or gardening are as much as your child needs to start developing her vocabulary and understanding how language works, thereby getting her ready to read.&nbsp;</p> <p><a title="Dad Making Dinner" href="http://youtu.be/yOKFITY43kU" rel="nofollow"><div class="eminline-wrapper"><div class="emvideo emvideo-video emvideo-youtube"><div id="media-youtube-2" class="media-youtube"> <div id="media-youtube-default-external-2"> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="350" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/yOKFITY43kU&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;amp;playerapiid=ytplayer&amp;amp;fs=1" id="media-youtube-default-external-object-2"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yOKFITY43kU&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;amp;playerapiid=ytplayer&amp;amp;fs=1" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="quality" value="best" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /> <param name="scale" value="noScale" /> <param name="salign" value="TL" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <!-- Fallback content --> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOKFITY43kU"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/yOKFITY43kU/0.jpg" alt="See video" title="See video" width="425" height="350" /></a> </object> </div> </div> </div></div></a><a title="Making Dinner" href="https://www.youtube.com/upload" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blog-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_blog_image" width="270" height="360" alt="Picture of mother and baby" src="http://oaklandlibrary.org/sites/default/files/blogs/images/CRRachel%20and%20Zarah.jpg?1363633483" /> </div> </div> </div> http://oaklandlibrary.org/blogs/babies/2013-03-17/help-your-child-get-ready-read-talking#comments Activities & Tips Babies Children's Services Blog Toddlers Sun, 17 Mar 2013 20:56:12 +0000 Laurie Willhalm 2971 at http://oaklandlibrary.org Yes, again! http://oaklandlibrary.org/blogs/childrens-services-blog/2013-03-13/yes-again <div class="field field-type-text field-field-blog-body"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p><span><img style="float:right; margin:10px" width="124" height="171" alt="Cover of the book Baby Beebee Bird" src="http://encore.oaklandlibrary.org/iii/encore/home?image_size=large&amp;isxn=0060280832&amp;lang=eng&amp;service=BibImage&amp;suite=cobalt&amp;suite_code=cobalt&amp;upc=" /></span></p> <p>Why does your toddler or preschooler ask for you to read the same book over and over? &nbsp;Children learn through repetition, and they need to experience a story many times to fully understand it. &nbsp;They also love to hear funny or rhyming words, and active or soothing rhythms, over and over and over--it's how they learn to talk, build their vocabulary, and learn to be creative with language! Every time you read that story again, they are growing their brains, and--most importantly--you are bringing them joy.</p> <p>Of course, it's hard to bring joy if you've just had enough of <em><a href="http://encore.oaklandlibrary.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1059041__Sbaby%20beebee__Orightresult__X5?lang=eng&amp;suite=cobalt" rel="nofollow">The Baby Beebee Bird</a></em> for the night. &nbsp;Stop in to see us: we are always happy to help you choose library books suited especially to your taste and your child's, so that you can have a changing stockpile to tempt your child to try something new. &nbsp;And don't forget our <a href="http://oaklandlibrary.org/kids/events" rel="nofollow">storytimes</a>&nbsp;...we'll read <em>The Baby Beebee Bird</em> for you.
