Words Worth Books and the The Children’s Museum are presenting our newest family series; Books & Babies. Join in the fun twice a month to learn about the importance of reading to your new child and to hear stories, play games and sing songs.

 

Classes are free at Words Worth Books and included in admission at The Children’s Museum. Moms, Dads, and Grandparents are all welcome to attend.  Admission to the Children's Museum is $10.00 each and children under 3 are free. The Books and Babies program is held in Tot room, one of the coolest rooms in the museum. It has been carefully designed with little ones in mind: the lights are soft, there is a padded floor, interactive wall displays of bright colours and buttons to push, and tube lights full of bubbling water.

 

 

There are numerous benefits to reading aloud to your baby. By reading with your child you are helping to promote listening skills, increase their vocabulary, develop their attention span and memory as well as stimulate their imagination and senses. Parents can learn about finding the right books at the right stage of their little one’s development, and how to make reading an exciting experience.

 

By the time babies reach their first birthday they will have learned all the sounds needed to speak their native language. The more stories you read aloud, the more words your child will be exposed to and the better he or she will be able to talk. Hearing words helps to imprint them on a baby's brain. And kids who are read to during their early years are more likely to learn to read at the right time.

 

Reading to your baby early and often sets the stage for later reading success. According the 1985 American National Commission on Reading, reading aloud to children is “the single most important intervention that parents can make in ensuring their child’s later reading success.”
