LO and reading

the pp got me thinking, does anybodies lo's tolerate reading time? i read to a everyday but she's just interested in eating the pages and pulling the book out of my hands to throw on the floor. I'm not giving up but just wanted to know if anyone else is in this boat

Re: LO and reading

  • Oh we are totally in the same boat. Despite her doing this, I just continue to read. Then she gets some eating time (hard books)!

  • I just finished reading to LO before bed.    She doesn't listen to the book at all, just tries to grab the pages and eat them.   I want her to be used to hearing books, looking at pictures and being held.  One day she'll appreciate it.    And as pp said, we use a lot of board books.
    But three things remain: faith, hope and love; the greatest of these is love. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker BabyFruit Ticker

  • Just recently (maybe the past 2 weeks?) DD seems to "get" reading time. She still sometimes tries to eat the book, but now she looks at and touches the pages and turns them. I read to her before her nap and bedtime (as long as she's not overtired) when she's a little calmer. Sometimes when she first wakes up as well.

    I also give her a cloth book while she is in the carseat, and she "reads" to herself, turning the pages, touching pictures and "talking" to them. It's soooo cute.

  • Genevieve loves reading time!  She squeals and smiles during board book time and usually tries to help me turn the pages.  She also loves to chow down on them when given the chance.

    At night, I read to her and her big sis out loud from chapter books.  If she gets too grabby, I often swaddle her or give her something else to chew on.  DH reads to her while she is in her swing or highchair so he can keep a little distance between them.

  • My LO loves turning the pages--usually skipping most of the book in the process. For Hanukkah, my parents gave her a book a night--and she LOVES crawling to and flipping through books. However, she isn't a cuddly infant, and would rather looking at the books sitting on the floor or on her terms :)
