Dear Priya, You have some great suggestions here so I will not repeat those, but I will say make reading an engaging, lively and fun process for your daughter. Talk a lot through out, commenting on emotions, events, new words and concepts etc and ask questions or have discussions as you move along. This will make reading fun and engaging for your daughter, both of which are needed to encourage her to become a lifelong reader! Hope this helps.

Like while reading this famous book the monkey puzzle by Julia Donaldson we used this emotions prompts to learn about different expressions and emotions

My twins are 3years and I started reading to them from the time they turned 8months as me and my husband are not readers..<br> I read the story and translate it into our mother tongue as and when required and make faces, expressions so that they grasp it easily..<br> If we are reading something during day time we even do art and craft related to it...<br> Thank you so much <font color ="#3b5998"><b> @63713f4617d2c800158d383d </b></font> for the <u>tag</u>
