Ages are a starting point, never a deadline. Follow your child's curiosity. Younger age suggestions are for sharing with an adult.
A LITTLE REASSURANCE
You're not teaching a lesson.
You're sharing a moment.
A few pages, a familiar voice, a favourite picture. Let them turn back, skip ahead, or ask for the same story again.
Start small.
A short, happy moment counts. Stop when your little reader has had enough.
Make room for wonder.
Point, pause and talk about the pictures. You don't have to read every word.
Let favourites stay favourites.
Reading the same book again is part of the joy. New discoveries can wait.
