Books From BirthAAP Literacy Recommendations

• Begin daily shared reading beginning as soon as possible after birth, which…

“…stimulates optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens parent-child

relationships at a critical time in child development, which, in turn, builds

language, literacy, and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime.”

TV for Toddlers?AAP Screen Time Recommendations

• Avoid before 18-24 months old

• Discourage TV/screens in sleeping areas

“Because of their immature symbolic, memory, and attentional skills, infants and toddlers

cannot learn from traditional digital media as they do from interactions with caregivers…”

Such as READING TOGETHER!

Reading! Our favorite higher-order skill

• Cultural invention• 6000 years old

• No hardwired brain network

• “Recycle” visual, language, and other brain networks emergent literacy

• Predictable sequence in typically developing readers• Note: books with pictures no pictures

“Neurons that fire together, wire together”

• Early: Vision, hearing, joint attention

• Protracted: higher-order cognitive skillsLanguage, executive function, creativity, sense of self & others (empathy)

Visual imagery: comprehension, learning, mental health
