Play back-and-forth games with your baby. For example, hand your baby a rattle or soft ball and see if they will hand it back to you. See if you can exchange the toy a few times.
Playing games, talking and carrying out activities that have a “back-and-forth” interaction is practice for turn-taking and reciprocal interaction. Such interaction will help babies develop skills for having a conversation later. Children who develop language skills by talking to others will take to reading more easily.
It is alright if babies just sit still for a few pages, turn the pages quickly or only want to look at one picture and then be done. Babies may even like to just mouth the book instead of reading it. Interacting with books together with a trusted caregiver builds bonds between them and helps babies develop a love for reading (literacy orientation). Fletcher, K. & Reese, E. (2005).
