    This is a case study of a baby, son of professional readers, whose mother read to him since he was 10 months of age and propitiated in a sustained way situations of dialogic reading. Under the qualitative paradigms, within the frame the ethnographic case study, data was recollected through video and text records and it was determined that the mother used reading strategies with the baby like: making onomatopoeic sounds, naming objects and characters, making questions, among others.

    La comunicación humana: los primeros contactos con la lengua y la lectura
    (2012) Manuela S. Ball Vargas
    There are several prerequisite functions in order to achieve communication. Newborn babies bring these functions with them. However, they will only be deployed during the encounter given by adults, and particularly by the mother to the infant. The kinesthetic sensibility, the perceptive and expressive abilities, the rhythms and, temporal pattern are conditions for communication to emerge. From there, other encounters will be brewed, which will bring regularity to the baby’s life and will provide him/her the necessary tools to give meaning to the world; these are the game formats stated by Bruner. Within the frame of these formats, the early contact with books and reading provides to the baby numerous possibilities from the social, affective, cognitive and linguistic development point of view. Encouraging these situations – presence of books and shared reading moments with adults of the newborn surrounding – we initiate the baby with written material and the language of books. Without noticing it, we introduce babies into the road of literacy and we provide the tools in order to organize and  structure their language. Likewise, we expand their vocabulary, enrich their syntax, and make them handle a lexicon which grant them independence and security when framing their hypothesis.
