  • Read the title out loud together and talk about what you expect.
  • Pause the video and let your child read the next line before the narrator does.
  • Point out sight words (the, and, said, was) each time they appear.
  • Ask: β€œWho was the main character? What problem did they have? How was it solved?”
  • Have your child read one page aloud to you β€” or to a pet or stuffed animal audience!
  • Who was your favorite character in Waking the rainbow dragon, and why?
  • What was the problem in the story? How did it get solved?
