She was just a few months old when I started reading a book to her before bed. I had a plastic shoe box bin with board books in it, and we often pulled those out to look at them. She is now 11, and last year her teacher told me how amazed she was at my daughter's comprehension. My girl struggles with ADD and dysgraphia, and has a hard time in school because she doesn't fit "in the box". But start a discussion with her on some literature she is reading and watch her soar. I don't know if it was early reading that did it, but she has loved books since her infancy. I think the things we do with our babies creates happy memories and strengthens the bond. Reading is a happy thing for my girl.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10958091392834699894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-72680605055300589812010-10-26T10:57:01.943-07:002010-10-26T10:57:01.943-07:00Such great suggestions!

I think its easy to forget that even though babies can't talk at this age...they are still taking in so much information about the world around them. I remember taking my four-month old around the grocery store holding up all the produce for her to smell and speaking all animatedly about it to her and people just looked at me like I was crazy!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646170547184240000noreply@blogger.com
