Support your child's reading journey

Support your child's reading journey
- Sing rhymes and tell stories to your unborn baby. They can hear you from around 18 weeks and will recognise and love your voice even before they are born
- Ask your Health Visitor about your free Bookstart Baby and Treasure Chest packs: they have two free books and lots of good tips and advice
- Join the free Bookstart Bear Club online or at the library
- Join your library as soon as you can - your child is going to enjoy thousands of brilliant, exciting and amazing books and you simply won't be able to buy them all - so take full advantage of our wonderful, wonderful libraries
- It is important to own books - if you really enjoy a library book, buy it! Mark every birthday, Christmas and other special occasions with the gift of a book or book token
- Try and share stories and rhymes every day.
