Points to Remember

• Reading together helps develop a bond between carer and child
  
  
• Reading should always be fun
  
  
• sing and read stories and rhymes out loud
  
  
• choose simple, bold pictures with familiar objects
  
  
• point out the pictures as you go along
  
  
• keep repeating things
  
  
• don't go on if your baby seems tired or not in the mood - have another try later
