 </strong> Reading and singing help your baby's brain and language developm
 ent. Reciting nursery rhymes and singing songs help your baby get ready to
  read. Babies who have been exposed to books and reading grow up to become
  children who perform better in school.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>This worksho
