Supporting transitions with books
No matter when your child starts potty learning, it’s a major transition for them. Like any big change, it can stir up new emotions and spark curiosity and questions. 🤔 That’s why we wrote “Ready to Go: Wee” And “Ready to Go: Poo.” This Book Bundle add-on to The Realist Play Kit for months 19, 20, 21 includes real stories that normalise the experience of going to the toilet. JJ, the child in the books, shares his feelings about beginning to use the toilet.
Any book with pictures can become a prompt for introducing important maths lessons
Here’s some tips for incorporating maths when you read: 👉 Count just about anything in a book, pointing as you go. ✋ Hold up your hand and count the same quantities on your fingers. ⭕️ When counting parts of a set, count the individual parts and then circle the set. Then say the number again: '1, 2, 3, 4. (Circle the set) 4 eyes.' Remember, you don’t need to read a book from front to back, especially when you are working on maths concepts.
Reading to your baby with The Wooden Book from The Looker Play Kit for weeks 0-12
The human voice is the most interesting sound to your baby. When you speak to your baby, you’re helping them understand the sounds, rhythms, and patterns used in language. Reading to your baby promotes ‘shared focus’ - joint experiences between you and your child that form the basis of strong relationships and learning. 📚 Reading to your baby helps them learn that book time is comforting, fun, and time spent close to you- it also introduces them to the concept of a book
Toddlers can understand that photographs are representations of real-life objects.
Reading books with realistic photos to your child can help them form ideas about people, places, and things that they may or may not see every day. This doesn’t mean that you should avoid introducing your child to illustrated books. 📚 Variety is important, and any and all reading is helpful. Just know that at this stage, your baby will benefit most from seeing books with lifelike pictures. ❤️
Parts of Me Board Book from The Senser Play Kit
Your baby may start to take an interest in board books sometime between 6 and 9 months. Books offer ways to expose your baby to new vocabulary words you might not commonly use, rhyming and rhythm, and different language structures than they are exposed to in everyday conversation. Reading builds positive associations: reading time = cosy time. Creating a habit of reading to your baby helps them learn to love books because they love being close to you and hearing your voice. 🥰
