Sing a Book!
When is the last time you sang a book? Singing is fun, and is actually a very important activity that helps babies to hear the smaller sounds that make up words. Books that can be sung often have a note for each syllable, as well as rhyming words. This adds to the benefits of including music in your reading routine. The best part is that you are sharing a book in a fun way, experiencing a positive connection and creating a wonderful memory.
Don’t be surprised when the books on this list make you break out into song! Let the rhythm in these stories inspire you to make up your own tunes. Babies love the sound of your voice and will not notice if you sing off key. There are so many songs to sing; babies are just waiting to get started!
