Brain Building Tips

We're surrounded by words that are ready for reading. Try reading signs aloud to your child and talk to them about what they mean. It doesn't matter if it's a book, magazine, or billboard - it all counts! Reading to your child, anywhere and everywhere, helps them develop a rich, diverse vocabulary. Find more tips at vroom.org

Do you have concerns about how your child plays, learns, speaks, acts or moves? Visit www.cdc.gov/concerned and talk with your child's doctor.
