[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he is a little too young to be read to, but if you have done so in the past with babies younger than him then that proves me wrong.

I would start off with quick stories for him. Short and sweet. Let him get used to being read to in a progressive manner.

Also, during tummy or playtime, allow him to play with cloth or plastic books. Some of them come with a squeaky feature.

Good luck. :)[/quote]

Our nanny has always read to our DS since birth.  At 8 months he was crawling over to choose books for us to read to him from his bookcase. At six-months he would happily sit through even a long, verbal text like "Green Eggs & Ham".  She aslo began taking him to "Baby Story Time for Non-Walkers" at 8 months.

He is three now and still loves books.  We definitely credit our nanny.  [/quote]

That is nice that your nanny did this for your son and that he responded well. However each child is unique and special and some may not take to it as easier than others. This may not be the optimal time for the OP's charge. He still has his whole life ahead of him to enjoy the beauty of reading. It may take him a little more time than her previous charges.[/quote]
