Fun Literacy Activities for Babies

Reading is not a set of remote skills that children learn when they go to school. Learning is the process which starts after birth. During childbirth, a baby’s cerebrum is as yet creating and the encounters that we give decide how the mind is produced. Literacy activities are more interesting for baby. The great foundation of literacy or fun literacy activities for babies are talking, singing, playing sound and word games, reading, writing and drawing.
