"Reading to your child from birth provides the sights, sounds, and touch that will help the brain develop and also help to develop important physical and emotional bonds. Choosing books for your baby can be difficult considering the huge selection available and your babies quickly changing needs. Read to Me! provides helpful tips, book suggestions and a rhyme for each month of their first year, catered to the skills your baby is developing at the time. The cheerful photographs of babies playing with books means you can explore this guide together with your baby. Our month-by-month guide supports bonding and attachment and early language development through fun activities that will stimulate and entertain your baby. The guide was compiled by the staff of the Read to Me! Nova Scotia program. Read to Me! brings a bag of books and literacy information to the family of every baby in Nova Scotia within 24 hours of their birth. Between birth and age three, the human brain grows at an incredible rate, laying down the cellular connections and building blocks needed to learn and develop. One of the greatest things a parent can do to nurture this growth is to introduce their baby to books and reading. Established in 2002, Nova Scotia’s Read to Me! program is devoted to promoting early literacy."--From readtome.ca website.
