Expectant Mom and Daughter Reading Together
This is a video of an expectant mom reading to her daughter and baby before birth. The auditory system is fairly developed by month six of pregnancy. Studies show that after birth babies recognize specific books, rhymes, or music heard in the womb before birth.

Notice how engaged the eighteen month old is with the story. Notice all the attention and interaction throughout the whole story. This is a child who has been read to since before birth. Her favorite activity is picking out books from her collection and having an adult read to her. Her soon to be born baby sister also benefits from hearing mom read before birth.
