TALK!
Narrate your day to your little one. What are they looking at? Name it. What are you doing? Tell your child. You may feel silly at first, but hearing lots of words helps your child learn language.
READ READ READ with your child!
Ask them questions even before they can talk. Point things out to them, ask what sounds animals make… and all even before they can talk!
RHYME
Say and sing rhymes like ‘The Itzy Bitzy Spider’, ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes’, ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’, and ‘Wheels on the Bus’
SING
Sing the ABC song - sing during diaper changes, washing hands, while you are getting their food ready
