Make your voice heard
Play with your voice to show your baby the difference between loud, soft, high-pitched and low-pitched sounds. You can do this anytime you're with your baby. When you're talking about daily routines like changing a diaper and dressing, change your voice from loud to quiet and high to low. Your baby will take notice!

It's rhyme time

 Reading or reciting nursery rhymes introduces babies to the rhythm of language. Long before your baby can utter a word, much less rhyme words, he can listen to rhymes and start to internalize the patterns in language. And babies love predictable language, which explains why you’ll tire of a rhyme long before he does!
