We don't wait until children can run before letting them crawl.
We don't wait until they can sing before playing them music.
And we don't need to wait until they can read before sharing books.

When children hold books, turn pages, spot familiar pictures, join in with sounds and stories, and talk about what they can see, they're building the foundations for reading.

Books aren't just for readers.

Every shared story is helping your child build the skills they'll need to become a confident reader.
