Babies and Early Literacy
Babies learn about language right from birth.
Reading, singing, and using nursery rhymes and
language play throughout the day teaches children
about the sounds of our language.
All children need to have the six pre-literacy skills
when they begin school (see below).
When children are prepared for school, they are
much more likely to succeed.
Five things you can do to help your baby
start learning right from birth:
Talking. Talk about what you are doing as you go
through your day; speak clearly, encourage babbling
and attempts at saying words; point to pictures and
objects and name them.
Singing. Songs will help your baby learn the sounds of
language. Singing and rhyming helps baby to hear
distinct sounds.
Reading. Begin reading every day right from birth; make
book sharing a special time and visit the library often to
find appealing books; use board or cloth books and let
your baby hold the book.
Playing. Learning is play and play is learning. Language
improves as your baby engages in play with you and with
favorite stuffed toys.
Writing. Give your older baby or toddler crayons and
paper for scribbling. Teach them shapes as a precursor
to learning the alphabet.

Reading with young children
For infants from birth to 18 months
Henrico County Public Library
Visit your nearest library to learn more about early literacy.
Choose books with bright, clear pictures that stand out from
the background. Board books are easier for small hands to
hold. Favorite books include those with photos of animals
and faces. Choose simple rhyming text. Describe what is
happening in each picture. Encourage babbling and other
attempts at communication.
Locations & Hours
For toddlers from 18 months to three years
FAIRFIELD (804) 290-9300
1001 N. Laburnum Ave.
Henrico, VA 23223-2705
 M–TH: 9:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.
 F & SA: 9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
Choose books with simple text and illustrations that feature
favorite animals and activities, such as bath time. Repetitive
phrases and cumulative stories encourage toddlers to help
“read” the book. Repeat animal sounds and other noises in
the story. Ask questions about the book. Interactive books
with flaps to lift up encourage involvement for busy hands.
How to share books with babies and toddlers:
1. Pick the best time. The best time to share books is when
both you and baby are in a good mood.
2. Show baby the book. Point to the pictures and talk about
them naturally and cheerfully.
3. Talk and have fun throughout storytime. Baby loves the
sound of your voice, and being touched and loved while
you read.
4. Watch what baby does. Let your baby play with the book
and stop if he or she gets upset.
5. Share a book every day. Reading for just a few minutes a
day teaches baby about language, and helps you and
baby bond.
