Weekend reading- Baby Read-Aloud basic

I managed to finish this book during this weekend, due to backache, i have to rest on bed and have the luxury to do some reading ..Thanks to MIL for helping me to entertain my little missy


I started reading to missy when she is around 5-6 months..i started flashing her flash card earlier.. as early as 2-3 months..as i think what's the point of reading to an infant who does not even have clear vision..haaa.. seems like im very wrong..

The book describe how important and useful, later in a child's life if we start reading to them earlier, as soon as she is born..this book introduces stages from 0 2 years old..

Summary of this book:

age 0-2 months - The listener
age 2-4 months - The observer
age 4-8 months - The coor
age 8-12 months - The babler
age 12-18 months - The word maker
age 18-24 months - the phrase maker

my bb is now 10+ months.. she is still in the babaler stage. suggestions on types of books to read to her:
1. homemade books about baby's first birthday
2. books with rhymes with repeating words
3. word books with label of objects
4. books that explore concepts : in/out/under/inside
5. books that illustrate action -running/jumping
6. books that flaps and noise buttons


Im thinking of making a family book with photos of her closer family member so that she remembers everyone..

and im thking when she is 1 year plus, i shall make small booklet with pictures for every places we visited, e,.g zoo, bird park, beach.. etc.. so we can always refer to these books for things we have done, such as in zoo, we see tiger/monkey.. we play sand on beaches..swimming in the pool.. we see peacock in bird park..mm.. lots of ideas but have to get it out first..

Busy mummy..
