  3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

Read-aloud15 min

Read-aloud: Tam and the Wind-Up Tractor

  1. Read “Tam and the Wind-Up Tractor” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
  2. Afterward, ask: has anything like this happened to you? How was it the same, or different?
