Read-aloud: The First Flight

1. Read “The First Flight” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
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.
