Reading together starts at birth
Books aren't just for kids who can sit still.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends reading aloud with children starting in infancy.
You don't have to finish the book. Point at pictures. Make the animal sounds. Let them turn pages.
A few minutes a day builds vocabulary and a love of books. Wiggly readers still count.
Try this: Ask "What do you see?" on each page instead of just reading the words.
