Read-aloud: Mrs. Hedgehog's Umbrella
- Read “Mrs. Hedgehog's Umbrella” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
- Before reading, look at the title and the first page and ask: what do you think this story is about?
- 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.
