Reading to babies, toddlers and small children is so important. It helps their brain grow. Babies whose parents read to them hear 30 million more words before they start school. This builds their vocabulary, which helps them learn to read and spell. This is essential for learning at school. Help your baby prepare for school by reading to them everyday.

Reading to your baby or toddler is like giving their brain a hug.
