Reread: Henny Penny

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

Read-aloud: The Elevator Plan

  1. Read “The Elevator Plan” 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?
