🧠 Read Together

Tips for 🧸 Picture Book Pals (ages 3–5). Reading together for just 15 minutes a day builds vocabulary, focus and a lifelong love of stories.

  • Look at the cover together and ask: β€œWhat do you think this story is about?”
  • Turn on captions (CC) so your child sees the words while hearing them.
  • Pause and ask β€œWhat do you think will happen next?” There are no wrong answers!
  • Hunt for letters: can your child spot the first letter of their name on screen?
  • Ask your child to retell the story in three parts: beginning, middle, end.
  • Draw a favorite picture from the story and label it together.
  • Can you find your favorite picture?
  • What sounds did you hear in the story?
  • What colors did you see?
