Reading with your child 0-12 months

Free tips and advice in 25 languages on sharing books with babies.

Reading with children from a very early age helps to give them the best possible start in life. But not everyone is confident with books and reading aloud, so this booklet is full of tips and ideas on how to get the most out of sharing books with your baby.

You can view and download the booklet in English, Welsh and 23 other languages (see below).

We also have guides for sharing books with children aged 18-36 months (Wales); 3-4 years; 4-6 years and with children who are deaf, blind or partially sighted.
