Bookstart
Bookstart is built on a simple premise - babies who have an early introduction to books benefit in lots of different ways:
- better communication and language skills
- increased vocabulary
- improved language acquisition
|
An early start with books helps to develop the motivation, concentration and attention that are necessary for learning.
Research has shown that children introduced to Bookstart have a head start when beginning pre-school and school over their peers who haven't been introduced to Bookstart.
You can help give your child a head start in life by making him or her a Bookstart Baby. |
|
Packs containing lots of useful information on how to enjoy sharing books - including baby books and a nursery rhyme placemat - are available free of charge.
