Your baby is learning how to make connections between words and actions in this first year of life. Try this literacy activity the next time you are spending time together.
Activity: Body Language (0-2 years)
Use: Anytime, Anywhere
Description: Practice using gestures with your child as another way to communicate. You can wave your hand and say "hi!" or shake your head and say "no." Or you can clap your hands and say "yay!" See if they will mimic your actions and sounds. Try going back and forth like a conversation.
Brainy Background: Many children use gestures before they speak. When you show your child how bodies and words work together, you teach them how to communicate. You also help them make connections between words and actions, an important part of talking, reading, and writing.
Actividad: Lenguaje corporal
Uso: En cualquier momento, en cualquier lugar
Descripción: Practica el uso de gestos con tu niño como otra forma de comunicarse. Puedes saludar con tu mano y decir "¡hola!" o moverla de un lado al otro y decir "no". O puedes aplaudir y decir "¡bien!" Fíjate si tu niño imita tus acciones y sonidos. Intenta tener una conversación interactiva.
Fondo Inteligente: Muchos niños usan gestos antes de hablar. Cuando le muestras a tu niño cómo funcionan juntos los gestos y las palabras, le permites entender más lo que significa comunicarse. También lo ayudas a hacer conexiones entre palabras y acciones, una parte importante para hablar, leer y escribir.
