Ready for Read ‐Alouds: 10 Practices for Book‐Sharing with Infants and Toddlers

This article presents 10 research-based practices for book-sharing with infants and toddlers to foster love of reading and emergent literacy skills. For each practice, we provide examples with preverbal infants and newly verbal toddlers. We encourage teachers of reading to use these practices in their interactions with infants and toddlers and to use their role as literacy leaders to share the practices with childcare providers, families, and others who work with this age group.
