- Identified different types of books (fiction, non-fiction, picture books, etc.)
- Observed how books are organized on shelves
- Learned how to handle books with care
- Interacted with other children and adults in the bookstore
- Explored different genres and topics through book covers and titles
Continued development: Encourage the child to pick out books that interest them and read them together. Ask them questions about the story and characters to promote comprehension and critical thinking. Take them to different types of bookstores (e.g. independent, used, specialty) to expose them to different aspects of the book industry and community.
