Re: First Birthday Present
^^ there you go CA, She might not comprehend the exact words or the exact story but her talk in her own language (lol) can be her interpretation to those pictures, she might be making up her own story using them. Many kids do this. Honestly if you talk with a childcare professional, they will tell you to keep reading them, show them pictures from the story books and encourage them to talk about it and respond to it even if you don't understand them. You are right that every child is different but never stop reading to them even if they don't sit at one place. They should have variety of books to go through, look over the pictures, and make their own interpretations. Eventually they will start recognizing the words as well.
wow lusi, thanks...the last part of your msg really makes sense. I guess it's time for me to send her some audio books with colorful pics in them.....I hope she's gonna enjoy them(other than tearing them apart). :)
