I’ve gradually built up a collection of books that I find difficult to part with as I have so many memories attached to them. So I’m happy that the KBC book bingo gives us a chance to share our books that we have cherished for many years.
I am sharing across Aryan’s 30 current favorites (0-3 years) for #kbcbookbingojr.
We introduced books to A when he was 4 months old. We started with a touch and feel book and now in the past 5 years our library has grown over 75 books. Here I am sharing his favorite 30 books.
I have always loved reading. In fact, my bedtime reading routine is a must or I just can’t sleep. Books have always held a special place, but in the past year since we are stuck at home due to the pandemic, books have been more than just books. They are friends, play buddies (I use them like blocks to stack and make roads to drive our trucks on). They are also our food and bath buddies (yes, Mumma has to read while I play in the bathtub pretending to get clean). Sometimes I even sleep on them. So it’s difficult to choose a few from so many I love. So I made my Mumma list a few.
There is no defined age as such for starting phonics. You can start with letter sounds once the child speaks clearly and fluently. We started at around 2 years and 8 months, however fluency in terms of reading CVC words came around 3.5 years and in terms of reading entire sentences and books, by 4 years.
This book ‘Hey, that’s an A!’ by Jerry Pinto became a fun thing for us. And why not?! Why don’t you try to put your hands up and make an A. Or why don’t you try and stand tall as “Y”. Totally totally amazing book with illustrations by Sayan Mukherjee that makes it fun while learning.
