Books, which are mostly used in school periods in our society, are actually very important for many subjects such as human life, psychology, etc.
Most of the children encounter books as soon as they start school, and they only study with those books and love them because they write, or they remain only as a lesson tool in their lives like most children.
So how can we make our children love books and reading?
- When you are a 4-5 month old baby, you should start showing books that are suitable for their development and month with pictures. (real picture books are more beneficial for development)
- When he starts listening to short stories, different short stories and fairy tales should be told.
- In order to set an example and be enthusiastic, parents should definitely see the parents who read books at home, and at the same time, the baby can be expected to tact by handing a book (suitable for his own age and developmental level).
- Books bought from 4-5 months old should be read together with the baby, by naming the objects and figures in the book (the picture shown with expressions such as “look bird, here is a bird” should be repeated).
- Object books should be replaced by fairy tales and story books as they get older, and there should always be a parent reading a book or the book should be read with the child.
