Why think about ways to encourage your baby to read when you have just given birth to him? Why not just look forward to saying “My baby can read” someday? It will be more exciting.

As a first-time mom, your excitement to everything about your baby is expected. However, you also have to dwell on so many serious things about your baby. This especially concerns the development of his mental abilities, which include speaking and reading.

Yes, even if he is still in your womb, you have to think about how to teach your baby to read. You have to make sure that your statement “My baby can read” will possibly happen. How? You have to teach your baby to read. But, as mentioned earlier, you have to encourage him first. Here are five ways:

1. Make your ‘reading class’ easy on him. Babies may be easy learners, but hey, do not attempt to put too much information on his brain. If you think a word or three a day is enough to fill up his brain, do so.

2. Buy him reading materials. If you fill his room with books and other reading materials, it is pretty sure that he will get curious with them and will start to do what is necessary on them. In no time, you can claim “my baby can read”.

3. Be creative. Initially, do not make it appear that you are actually teaching him. Let him think that the two of you are playing. For example, scatter three to five letters on the floor. Ask him to point or bring to you a specific letter fast and he will be rewarded.

4. Read him books. As you do this, make sure that you are showing him the letters of each word. Read it over and over again and in no time, he will be able to recognize, as well as read, each word. Now, you have the right to say “My baby can read”.

5. Sing songs. Because songs never fail to excite babies, this will highly encourage your baby to read. Buy CDs with children’s songs, but make sure these have lyrics.

The word “someday”, if you will allow it, may be too long a time to expect your baby to read and to anticipate yourself to say “My baby can read”. Before you know it, you are already late attending to the mental development of your child. Do not allow this to happen.

As a parent, one of your best contributions to your baby is his or her mental development. To assess how far you have gone with his or her mental growth is to evaluate his or her ability to read and speak. Hence, it is very important that you teach your baby to read and speak excellently. On reading, isn’t it pretty amazing to see (and hear) your child reading? Specifically, isn’t it overwhelming to shout this to the world: “My baby can read!”?

However, before you can ultimately exclaim “My baby can read”, you need a lot of patience to teach baby to read. Remember, babies have short attention span. ‘Reading classes’ should be long enough to allow him or her to learn a few letters and words to read, as well as short enough to grab hold of his or her full attention. Do not force to teach him or her all day long. Do not even attempt to teach your baby to read after a tiring activity. You will not be successful. During your teaching session, try to be creative so your baby will enjoy it or else, he or she will fall asleep or will throw tantrums.

Also, it is necessary that you prepare yourself from doing this important task before thinking of declaring “my baby can read”. Do not be overly excited. Buy flashcards and DVDs, which can serve as helpful tools toward your goal of finally telling everyone in your family and your circle of friends that “my baby can read”. You may also want to take a look in the My Baby Can Read program. It received huge appreciation from parents who took the program for their babies. My Baby Can Read reviews can also help you. It is where you will hear (or read) feedbacks directly from parents.

Until the time you say “My baby can read”, do not think that you are off the ‘reading class’. Not just yet. You need to continue it until she reaches the age of five. You see, the best time to teach your baby how to read is from birth to five years. At this stage, he or she easily absorbs everything around him or her. His or her brain can take anything that you send in. So, make the most out of it if you wish to raise an excellent child.

It’s amazing how quickly time flies after having a baby.  The first few sleepless and arduous nights feel like they are lasting an eternity, but before you’ve had time to blink, you’re celebrating your little one’s first birthday, watching them stumble their way across the room on their own and left wondering where the time has gone.  And unbelievably the following years seem to disappear even faster……

But as parents, we’re left with some very precious items that remind us of those first days, items that we will cherish forever.  The first scan picture, the hospital bracelet, a first size nappy, the baby’s favourite outfit, the first shoes, a special comforter or small toy, christening gifts and keepsakes.  The list goes on.

Whatever the items are, they are important and it feels almost a sin to hide them away in a box in the attic, rarely to be looked at again.  This is why I opted for a Keepsake Frame – I didn’t want to let go of things that reminded me of such special times and so instead, I framed them.

With Keepsake Frames the options are endless.  You can use a frame without a mount and create a scrapbook theme using mounted photos, decorative accessories as well as baby items, such as shoes.

A single opening, wide, mount can help create a modern and contemporary effect if you are using a simple display inside. I.e. one pair of shoes, a small teddy, an outfit.

Or a mount can be used to create sections in the display: Two openings can split a photo with a baby item such as a shoe or soft toy.  With three openings you could display a photo, a scan picture and a small soft toy.

If you are not particularly creative but know what you want to frame, the process is simple.  All you need to do is choose a keepsake frame that best complements the item you wish to frame.

If you are creative you can use different coloured and patterned craft papers instead of backing boards and can personalise the mount.

You can style your keepsake frame so that it will complement any room in the house.  What better way to cherish those memories?

The best keepsake frames to use are deep rebate box frames, rather than those with a normal frame face and a box built onto the back.  Not only do the deep rebate box frames look much better, but they can also be left to either stand on a windowsill or shelf or can be hung on the wall.

Keepsake Frames do not have to be limited to baby keepsakes but make excellent display pieces following a wedding and a more interesting alternative to a standard wedding photo.  In a wedding keepsake frame you could include a photo, an invitation, dried flowers, ribbons and anything else that was used for the wedding or represents the wedding theme.

So what are you waiting for?  Now all you have to do is decide what to frame.

An unsuccessful search for a modern box frame, that was not overpriced, for baby keepsakes led to the beginning of “For Keep’s Sake”. Visit http://www.forkeepssake.co.uk to view our range of affordable modern keepsake frames and to get more ideas and images for what to include.
