Talk With Her

Have conversations with your baby! Respond to her babbling. Give her time to talk and then respond to what she said. Talk to her just like you would talk to a good friend. Show her something you're working on, ask her questions, and recount a memory. Hearing the inflections and intonations of conversation will help her learn to respond to you in kind.

Visit your local library and find out about baby and toddler storytimes. This is a great way to expose your kids to language and early literacy. Ask your local librarian about early literacy programming at your library and great book recommendations for reading with your baby.
