First Books

Children learn through repetition, so it's best to begin reading a rhyming book when introducing your child to reading. The rhythm and catchy phrases also help keep the child's attention, a definite plus when you're introducing reading to your child. Children's minds are like sponges; they catch on to everything. After reading the same book to them a few times, children will have memorized the rhyme or repetition in the story and they can begin to read along with their parents. Read what interests your child the most. The younger the child, the more they enjoy the repetition type stories. They love to know what comes next.
