	Toddler Books Offer Many Ways to Help Stimulate Sensory Motor Development in Young Children Welcome to Toddler Books How Can Toddler Books Enhance Development? The first stage of child development is often referred to as the Sensory Motor Stage, typically 0-2 years of age where a child learns about himself and his/her environment through motor and reflex actions. Books can help develop different sensory motor skills such as touch, hearing, sight and even smell. For infants and toddlers, there are soft books with moving parts, books with sounds and colors, and board books with textures to feel. For older toddlers, there are flap books, pop up books and even scratch and sniff books.

Identifying Upper and Lower Case This free printable is the upper case on one sheet and the lower case on another to see if your child is able to recognize their letters. It also can be used to practice letter sounds when they are ready. I used this in the classroom to test quarterly so parents could assist with the letters their child didn't know. Reading Strategies Here are some Reading Strategies for children just starting to read. I used this in reading groups so children would have some strategies to decode words. I also gave this to parents to help give them some tips when they read with their child. Benefits Gained from Reading Books I can't emphasize enough that the love of books can start as early as a few months old. It can be one of the best ways to entertain an infant. It is also a natural way to help develop reading readiness skills. Why is this important?? It is one of the most important steps to success in school. Literature is valuable for many reasons: it sparks children's creativity and imagination Books introduces them to new people, places, and ideas It builds their vocabulary and strengthens their use of language Sharing books with your child can also helps strengthen bonds between parent and child. Organizing Your Books A toy box with a shelf or book shelves are a great way to store your child's books. We really like the Step2 Bookcase which is colorful, easy to move, and no sharp corners and very durable. Having books that is easily accessible are perfect to help nurture interest in reading. If you have a lot of books, plastic baskets or bins are an easy way to organize books. Some of the benefits to using small baskets are: You can switch out baskets to keep books interesting and "new" Separate "special books" that mommy or daddy reads at night or with supervision. These are like the pop up books which are so tempting for children to pull on and tear. Great way to organize by author or topic when children get older or even by level of difficulty.
