22) Baby Bibliophiles: The ABC's of baby books with Elizabeth Goode

We wanted to celebrate De Nationale Voorleesdagen which is celebrated across the Netherlands yearly, to stimulate reading to children aged 0 to 6 years of age.


And what better than to speak to a qualified (and awarded!) librarian Elizabeth Goode from Goode Writes and Reads , who breaks down the age groups and whats best for our little literature babes, and why. It's not as simple as you might think.


Did you know of the One Million Word Gap: Kids who have been read 5 books a day before they reach school age have been exposed to one million more words than kids who did not get exposed to books on a frequent level before school age.


Enjoy this episode, take notes, and be sure to check out our Instagram where we will be showcasing some recommendations Elizabeth provides us from newborn right up to starting school!


'Reading is reading is reading'


Some of the suggestions Elizabeth spoke about are below:
