What types of reading activities are suitable for different age groups?
For infants (0-12 months), focus on books with high-contrast images, simple text, and rhythmic patterns. For toddlers (1-3 years), choose books with colorful pictures, repetitive phrases, and interactive elements like flaps or textures. For preschoolers (3-5 years), select stories with more complex narratives and encourage them to predict what will happen next or describe their favorite parts. For school-aged children (6+ years), introduce chapter books, non-fiction, and encourage them to read independently.
