Pushing and pulling a car

1. Pull a toy car with a string, then push it with a finger.
2. Which way did it go each time? A push or a pull starts it moving.

Read-aloud: The Enormous Turnip

1. Read “The Enormous Turnip” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. Before reading, look at the title and the first page and ask: what do you think this story is about?
3. On the read-along you can show the pages on a big screen, or let it read the words aloud while each one lights up.
