Your infant or toddler is more likely to attempt putting a book in his or her mouth rather than turning its pages. But this should not discourage you from making reading a part of your young one’s life, reasoning that it’s too soon to begin. Experts recommend that exposure to books in the first year is crucial to the intellectual and emotional development of your infant or toddler. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has reported that reading to your infants and toddlers is one of the most impelling ways to nurture early literacy power.
