Reading picture books with infants and toddlers is a crucial practice for their early language development, offering significant benefits for their later reading abilities and academic achievement. While the importance of reading books with children aged 3 to 5 years is widely acknowledged, the advantages of reading with much younger children, from 0 to 3 years, who are still in the process of learning their first language, are less well understood. This book aims to shed light on the seemingly simple practice of reading picture books with infants and toddlers aged 0–3 years, exploring it from various perspectives.

Book-focused adult-child interactions support language and early literacy development in numerous ways, fostering intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. By bringing together insights from multiple discipline areas, this book aims to explain how and why reading with infants and toddlers has such a profound impact on their lives.

Providing an evidence-based, theoretically informed account, Reading Picture Books with Infants and Toddlers equips educators, parents, and caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to offer frequent, enjoyable, and language-rich reading experiences to infants and toddlers. By nurturing their love for books and fostering early language skills, parents can set the foundation for a lifetime of learning and success.
