EXAMPLE: My daughter who is 18 months old LOVES books. She is unable to speak in sentences but already understands the "mechanics of a books". She knows how to hold a book and turn pages too. For this reason it is important for ECE centres to have books and share stories with infants and toddlers. Even very young children benefit from exposure to books.

My panik Kylie has lots of books at home, and although she does not stay in one place, I still try and read to her (Sometimes she has no interest at all) There is this one simple book with one word and an image in each page. She flips through them and she knows all of them, we started letting her see that 1 specific book since she was about 9 months old and I feel like that book is her favourite. This is why all daycares or ECE centres should have books, children learn so fast and they are really interested in books. (Just adding a picture of my panik looking through a book *Not her favourite)

Jolene- from my experience, reading to a toddler who is learning how to talk is a very good time to start reading to them as they can remember some words that are in the book, even if they don’t remember the correct names, they remember pictures of on the book too. Starting from a one word to a couple word book can really help on climbing up to more advance ones. Even if the infants and toddlers doesnt understand most words, we can just show the pictures too, so they can start to memorize them.

Using your own experiences, describe the value and importance of sharing stories with children in your care. -Macy

When I read to my three girls, they get so interested in what I read, so they love it when I read to them at home. Few months ago my oldest daughter was reading to my middle child in the evening, my middle child fell asleep while my oldest child was reading to her little sister.

So it’s important to read for children so they will learn even tho they barely speak but they learn how to speak when their being taught how to say the words.

The value and importance of sharing stories with children is they get to learn what they see in books and learn some words as they grow, when they are getting older they will do some words and read a little.

The book i have made is about transportation.

You can show pictures of transportation and tell them what they are and what do you use them for. And you can explain what they are use.

My own experience reading a book with children is sharing a story and they get to learn in books as will a words. They will learn how to read at a young age as they grow. They will help understand people and the world around them. As an ECE educator it is good to let them read at the daycare. For them to learn with books.
