Cómo hacer esta actividad
Share a simple board book with your child by pointing to pictures and naming them in one or two words. After naming something, pause and wait to see if your child touches the picture, makes a sound, or looks at you. Respond to any reaction your child has before turning the page. Let your child set the pace and follow their interests rather than reading every word.
Por qué funciona
Shared book reading with pointing and naming is specifically recommended during this critical window for language development. The quality of interaction during book sharing, including following your child's attention and responding to their communication attempts, matters more than completing the book (Hirsh-Pasek et al., 2015). This activity combines visual attention, language input, and responsive interaction, all of which support the development of effective communication skills and stronger parent-child relationships (Hartos & Power, 2000).
Consejos para padres
Choose books with clear, simple pictures of familiar objects like animals or food.
Point and pause. Say dog, then wait several seconds for your child to look, touch, or vocalize.
If your child wants to turn pages quickly or go back, follow their lead. Their choices are a form of communication.
