At times, am scared I will change this blog into a mommy blog. But something is better than nothing, hee hee. And I have the bragging rights in this space ;-)
It's all about the book llama llama - wakey wake by Anne Dewdney. Its a board book about a day in llama's life from waking up to getting dressed to starting a new day. I have been reading this book to my LO(13 months now) for a while and one day, I asked her to read it for me. And she surprised me by making a couple of actions from the book. Totally thrilled, I started reading out the book with simple actions that she can relate to and within few days, she can read out the entire book through actions.
Thinking about it, this simply reiterates the facts that I learnt from the internet and the book Baby Read-aloud basics. One, repetition is the key. Two, when reading a book to your baby, make it interactive. Make simple actions they can imitate and pause when reading, as if waiting for your baby to respond.
