What happens during the first few years sets the stage for the rest of a child's life. More than 95 percent of a child's brain is formed during this critical period, and a child's experiences irreversibly affect how the brain develops - for better or worse. Positive, responsive parenting during the early years creates the strong parent-child bonds that promote healthy brain development. When families read aloud to their young children, they can give them a better start to life.

Use these tips to create an environment at home that fosters early literacy and aids in building strong-parent bonds through reading aloud and spending time together.

Research on redshirting suggests that it is associated with a small academic advantage (that is, higher academic test scores) and test scores seem to increase at a greater rate in 1st and 2nd grade (suggesting that redshirted children are showing enhanced learning in these grades). However, this effect may begin to fade as early as the end of first grade. This research is also correlational meaning we do not know whether it is redshirting that causes these advantages or if redshirting is simply associated with advantages.

Research suggests that when your child has an identified disability, a suspected disability, or even if you are just concerned that they may need some extra help in school, you may want to avoid redshirting. In this case, delaying school entry may be associated with worse academic performance, because it would also involve delaying free essential services through the public school system (such as speech therapy and learning support). This short delay may have a big impact as research finds that services before age 5 are more effective in improving a child’s long-term outcome than services after age 5.

Reading aloud with children can create strong bonds with loved ones and helps your child develop and learn. A child with vision loss may have difficulty seeing pictures on a page or reading words, but your child will enjoy cuddling with you and hearing an interesting story. Feeling textures on a page can prepare your child for learning Braille. Work together with your child’s therapists and teachers to learn how reading can help with motor skills, development of speech and language, and play. Over time, reading aloud can help motor skills, speech and language development, and play.

If you find reading with your child challenging, consider using these tips during your next reading session together:
1. Clap your hands and help your child clap along to the rhythm of the words.
2. Choose books that help your child learn parts of their body.
3. Talk about the pictures while you read the text.
4. Find books that have textures, pop-ups, or raised soft shapes. Name the shapes.
5. Try books with buttons that make a sound when pushed.
6. For a child with little or no sight, help the child become familiar with Braille. Use early Braille books or twin vision books with pictures, print, or Braille.
7. Read where there is plenty of light to help your child see the page.
