When your child hears words and language, their brain develops important connections needed to learn how to read. Reading with your\u00a0baby is also a great opportunity to build a strong and healthy relationship between parent and child. That&#8217;s what your baby needs most.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, throughout March, classrooms across the nation host reading events for elementary school children.\u00a0But early literacy starts way before a child reaches a classroom. It begins before babies can talk and continues as they become toddlers and preschoolers. In fact, studies have linked the number of words children know at ages 3 and 4 to their reading comprehension levels in third and fourth grade. Reading daily with children starting at birth helps them learn new words.<\/p>\n<p>EARLY LITERACY<\/p>\n<p>The skills needed to be a good reader, like language and vocabulary, start developing from birth. But it doesn\u2019t happen automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about early literacy<\/p>\n<h2>Read On Arizona<\/h2>\n<p>More great resources to help you grow a love of reading in your young child\u00a0can be found through\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.readonarizona.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read On Arizona<\/a>, a First Things First partner\u00a0that works across Arizona\u00a0to\u00a0support\u00a0early literacy for kids birth to 8 years old.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.readonarizona.org\/smarttalk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Smart Talk <\/a>encourages parents\u00a0to have quality back-and-forth conversations with your baby during everyday moments, such as mealtime, baths and diaper changes.
