5 Best Quiet Books for Toddlers

March 2, 2019

From a very young age, children can reap the benefits of books and begin to develop beneficial pre-reading skills. Reading can help children grasp the importance of following the text from left to right and knowing when to turn the page. Moreover, children will be exposed to new vocabulary, learn new phrases and expand their understanding of the world around them when they read about different topics and see various illustrations in the books they read. Many young children’s attention spans can be quite short, so reading can also help your toddler to extend their concentration and focus for longer periods of time. These skills will be useful in preparing children for education.

Benefits of Quiet Books for Toddlers

There are books tailored to every age group to engage and inspire reading; quiet books are designed specifically for babies and toddlers to encourage reading early on. Many are made from fabric, making them soft, machine washable and – for teething toddlers – chewable… meaning no more gnawed cardboard books! However, for older toddlers, there are also quiet books made from a sturdy cardboard to choose from; these can be attached to prams and are perfect when taking your toddler for a stroll. With bright and colourful designs created especially for younger children, quiet books are great for moments when children need to focus – for example, when travelling in the car or in their pram. From renowned tales to enjoyable animal stories, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to quiet books for toddlers! To help you out, this blogpost will be discussing five of the best quiet books for toddlers.
