Points to things in a book

Your Child can now point to things in a book and have a better understanding of a story.

Knowing what’s going on in a story certainly makes reading time more fun and engaging. By the time children are 2 years old, they can point to things in a book when asked to do so For example, when asked: “Where is the cat?” They can point at the cat in the book. Some children may also be able to answer a simple question from a book — for example, ”What’s the color of the ocean?”.

How to support this development
To support this development, stay consistent with the reading schedule. Make storytime a routine that’s fun for Your Child. You may build a cozy corner where you and the little one can spend time reading together. Also, you may put on a little theatrical performance by varying the tone of your voice.

Note: All children develop differently and at their own pace. For children born preterm, the referred timeframe for achieving the various developmental milestones might be incorrect.
