With the intention of continuing to maintain Castilla y León as the Spanish community where a greater number of books are read per reader, they have just presented a program to encourage reading among the little ones.
“LEO: books for newborns in Castilla y León” (This is how they have titled the project) 'I thought it was a great initiative to strengthen contact with books since childhood, even from the cradle. This not only helps them discover the wonderful world of reading early, but also a better development of their personality.
Although we may believe that a newborn does not know that we are reading a book, it is important to tell him the stories and teach him the illustrations. As much as you don't understand the story, the tone of your voice, the variety of sounds and intonation stimulate the baby and contribute to improving language acquisition, as well as encouraging reading. If we read as a child, then read.
LEO is a folder includes a guide for parents, so they learn to read with children from 0 years, along with a story book with illustrations entitled "The squirrel and the cook bear" and a CD with children's songs, as well as a membership card for a public library.
The folders will be delivered within the first 6 months of the child's life in public libraries to parents who are going to make requests for financial aid by birth to the Regional Administration or the Town Halls.
