- The other person looks at the pictures and follows the words.
- You can point to the words, turn the pages, and talk about the story.
2. How It Works
- Pick A Book you both like.
- Sit close together on a comfy chair or a rug.
- The reader says a line, then you can say the next line or repeat the words.
- You can point to the letters and say their sounds.
3. Why It Helps
- Makes Words Easier to learn because you hear them many times.
- Builds Confidence – you get to try reading yourself.
- Creates Happy Memories that make you want to read more books.
4. Make It a Game
