Read-aloud Basics for Newborns

WHO? You and your newborn

WHAT? Your favorite picture book, nursery rhymes, black and white board books, board books with bling

WHEN? Morning, noon, or night when baby is quiet and alert, not hungry, tired, or wet

WHERE? A quiet place

HOW long? Likely you'll read in micro spurts. If baby fusses or starts hiccuping or shuts her eyes in a deliberate-not-sleepy-kind-of-way, close the book.
