Books for Babies is a family literacy certificate training developed by the Centre for Family Literacy. The Books for Babies program is for families with young children (under 1 year) that encourages the sharing of books. This training provides information on delivery of a 4-week series of parent sessions. In these sessions parents learn:

• Why we read to babies,
• How to choose books for very young children,
• Different types of books to choose, and
• Other resources available within communities to families. 

In the training, time will be spent on types of books to share and how to share them; also discussion on early child development. As well there will be a focus on facilitation skills, administration details and promotion of the program to participants, funders and partners.
