Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the importance of reading aloud to children, specifically toddlers aged 1-2. The document is based on real life experience. It looks at how during the formative years, young children develop attitudes that will influence their actions in the years to come. Parents thus need to lay the foundation for a close relationship marked by confidence, mutual respect and understanding.

From the Paper:

"Contemporary research supports the notion that the brains of infants that babies can comprehend certain concepts before they can communicate them. Child development experts suggest that babies can count and remember events and solve simple problems (i.e. shaking a baby rattle to hear its soothing rhythm) ("Babies Have", 2005). As babies grow and mature they start to recognize familiar faces, speech patterns of caregivers, see life in colour, and develop the sensation of taste. A baby's brain works hard to process new sensory experiences and quickly stores that information for future use when they can talk, walk and interact with their environment ("Babies Have", 2005). "
