Have you ever wondered why so many baby toys and books feature high contrast black and white illustrations? This is so because research indicates that high-contrast colours like black and white register most strongly in a baby's brain and help the optic nerve to grow. The newborn babies cannot see anything other than black, white and grey. The first colour babies are able to see is red but that too not before they are 5 months old. Their vision is also blurry. When they see high-contrast images, they are able to make out and interpret them.

Benefits of high contrast books for babies:

• Cognitive Development:

There is no specific age as to when to introduce babies to books. One should start with an early age. Children who have read books since birth have a broader vocabulary and stronger communication skills than other children of their age. A high contrast baby book is a fantastic tool to aid in early cognitive development. It builds listening skills and teaches babies about communication, letters and shapes. 

• Visual Development:

High contrast books enable babies to focus clearly. Research has shown that a baby's retina registers the strongest when shown black and white images. This, in turn, sends strong visual signals to the brain, leading to more brain growth and faster visual development. 

• Social Development:

Reading books with your little ones is a great way to spend quality time with them. Babies love the way they are being taught and the kind of voices we as parents make while reading. Thus, reading with your little ones is the perfect time to interact with them and strengthen bonds with them.

Reading is one of the most important skills that a child will learn while growing up. But to begin with, it is important to read stories with babies and children. As this promotes brain development and imagination, develops language and emotions and strengthens parents and children relation. 

Reasons why reading is important for kids:

• It expands their vocabulary: While reading to kids, they may come across words that they are not familiar with, this will add on to their vocabulary and they will get to learn new words with this.

• Greater concentration: Reading regularly and consistently to children will help in improving a child's concentration abilities. Also, it will help them learn to sit still and listen for long periods of time, which will benefit them in their schooling.

• Enhanced Empathy: Reading allows children to understand various emotions. This helps in their emotional and social development since they learn to associate their feelings with words and find a way to express themselves better. Books showcase various characters and perspectives which allows children to be more empathetic. The cause and effect concept in stories helps develop their analytical skills besides encouraging curiosity, which is crucial to learning. 

• Build independence and self-confidence:  As kids learn they no longer have to rely on their parents to read things to them, they develop a sense of independence. Through reading, they can begin to understand the world on their own and hence, gain self-confidence. 

• Improved literacy skills: Reading aloud with young children, even if they can’t fully understand what you are saying, gives them the skills they need for when they begin to read by themselves. It shows children that reading is something achieved by focusing from left to right and that turning pages is essential for continuing. 

To have successful and effective reading sessions, consider the following:

• Start early:

It is always good to start early. During infancy, a child can look at pictures and listen to your voice. Read aloud to your child and point to the pictures on the page, saying the name of the objects that appear. This provides them with an understanding of real-world objects and an understanding of the importance of language. 

• Make reading a daily routine:

Reading to your child should be made a daily routine. This must be made a habit such as taking bath or brushing your teeth daily. A few minutes could be spent everyday reading together with your child. This will help in developing a good routine and thus will also result in a good bond between the child and parent. 

• Have patience:

It is very necessary that parents should be patient with children, they should not forget that the little ones don’t know much yet. For example, how is a child going to know to read from left to right until you point at the words as you go? How do they know that each scrawl on the page represents a word? Take your time and be patient if they don’t understand.

• Have discussions:

Once you’ve finished reading a story to your child, try to keep it going. One could ask them questions about what they’ve just read. For example, “Did you enjoy that story?”, “Who was your favourite character?” or “Why do you think the prince was happy at the end?”.  Such questions at the end of the reading session will make them alert and attentive during the reading session. They will enjoy this a lot.

Thus, try buying as many reading books for your little ones. Start with baby board books and picture books for them. Pegasus is India's leading award-winning children's book publisher.

The most important part about sharing books with your little ones is to have fun together. If children are engaged and enjoying themselves, this simply means they are learning. When children have positive interactions with books, they are developing good feelings about reading, this will motivate them to continue seeking out books and other literacy materials as they grow. 

Some ideas to nurture early reading skills in your little ones includes:

• It’s okay that you read for a few minutes together. 

This is a well known fact that little ones tend to get bored too often and they can sit only for a few minutes. So, it’s common that they would get up only at the mid-way of your story or even before the mid-way. But as they grow they will be able to sit longer. Give your little one the right to decide how much time they want to spend time on reading. When you let them explore books in the ways that interest them, the reading experience will be more meaningful. 

• Make the story come alive 

Try to create voices for the story character and use your body language to tell the story, when you are reading stories for kids. This will generate curiosity in them and they will be interested in knowing more. 

• Show children the words

While reading out stories for the little ones, it is quite helpful to run your finger along the words, from left to right. This will help kids to look at the words and thus, lead to enhancement in their vocabulary.

• Show children the cover page

Try to show the cover page of the picture books or story books to your little ones. In this way, children will guess what the story is about and thus they will be imaginative and creative. 

• Make it personal

Try to talk about your own family, pets or community when you are reading about others in a story. 

• Let children turn the pages

Babies cannot yet turn pages on their own but give them a chance to try. Always remember that it is okay to skip pages!

• Make books part of your daily routine

The more that books are woven into children’s everyday lives, the more likely they will be to see reading as a pleasure and a gift. Try to include reading in your daily routine such as at meal times, in the car, at bath time, at bedtime, at nap time and at the end of the day.

It’s never too early to introduce books to babies. Reading books to toddlers and preschoolers makes sense, but does a baby understand? A baby, newborn or infant would not understand everything we do. But reading aloud proves to be a delightful experience for both parents and babies. Along with that it has several benefits that are observed in the little ones. 

Those benefits includes:

• Language Skills: Hearing words read aloud helps babies’ blossoming language skills really start to bloom. Reading introduces them to a greater number of words and more complex language than they might otherwise hear in day-to-day conversation. 

• Bonding: Snuggling up to read a book together signals safety, love and emotional connection. While reading aloud to the little ones. Parents tend to develop a good bond between them and their children.

• Emotional Learning: Babies aren’t just looking at the pictures in their favorite books. They are also watching you frown when a book character is frustrated or smiles at the happy ending. They try to mimic parent’s expressions and the sounds that they make, this helps with early brain development. 

Which books should be chosen for infants?

• Since your baby’s vision is fuzzy choose books that have large simple black and white images or pictures in bright colors set against a contrasting background.

• Books with different textures so your baby can hear, see and feel the book are really helpful. 

• Books should be durable! Pick books made of stiff cardboard, cloth, or soft vinyl, so they are water-proof, tear-resistant, and chew-proof.

• Wordless picture books filled with new and familiar objects will give your baby something to look at.

• Oral language is important for early literacy; books with a single word and a corresponding picture will expose her to sounds and help her learn that pictures have meanings

• The chosen books should be attractive enough to hold your baby's attention. 

• Books should be age-appropriate and brightly coloured with repetitive words.
