Early language and literacy (reading and writing) development begins in the first three years of life and is closely linked to a child's earliest experiences with books and stories. The interactions that young children have with such literacy materials as books, paper, and crayons, and with the adults in their lives are the building blocks for language, reading and writing development.
It is never to early to start cultivating a love for books!
These toddlers spent 5 minutes babbling to one another, pointing at pictures and turning pages.
Next, this little fella decided he would look at a book on his own. It is upside down but notice he is pointing to the words on the page "reading".
