Before and after

1. Play a game: a grown-up names a part of the day, and your child says what comes before it and after it.
2. Ask: why does this matter? Your child says the answer, then writes it as a sentence.

Read-aloud: The Otter's Rock

1. Read “The Otter's Rock” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. Afterward, ask your child to tell the story back to you: first, next, last.
