Not only does reading help your baby to learn her spoken language, it is her gateway to discovering the world around her. The time to start reading to your baby is when she is an infant.

I totally agree with reading to babies while they are young. Our son was not interested in my reading as he was ready to explore the world, but around 10 months, he started showing interest in books and now we can’t stop reading them to him.
He LOVES to be read to and loves to open and analyze the books.
So, continue reading to your child REGARDLESS of what looks like the lack of interest.
