Stimulating Language Through Reading for Children 2 to 5 years of Age

Every Parent should try to read their child a bedtime story every night. Choose a book with large pictures and not more than 5 sentences on each page. A story book with a beginning middle and end is most appropriate. Not books that just contain words like a is for apple or b is for ball. The books needs to contain sentences so that your child can learn sentence structure as well as vocabulary. This book needs to be read to your child every night for two weeks. Repetition is very important. The more a child hears a word or sentence the more likely he/she will use it.
