INFANTSLike action nursery rhymes
Fall asleep to nursery songs and lullabies
Listen to Mother Goose verses as they are rocked
Imitate actions of children in books
Participate in sounds of animals in books
Relate books to real life
Like to see babies in books
Pick favorite books from shelf
Need the three R's: rhythm, repetition, and rhyme
TODDLERSLike to read the same books over and over
Look at board Books Pick out their favorite book from a shelf
Repeat Mother Goose verses by heart
Explore the world by tasting, climbing, touching it
Like short rhyming stories
Like large, clear, realistic pictures
Like to name objects in books and magazines
Like bathtub books and toy books
PRESCHOOLERSUse words to express themselves
Struggle for independence: "wanna do it myself"
Play with language, singsong, nonsense sounds
Enjoy Sesame Street and Big Bird
Are fascinated by other children, share grudgingly
May create an imaginary friend
Are fearful of the dark and strangers
Like simple folk tales but not fairy tales
