Read: Hum Under My Hand

1. Your child reads it aloud to you, then reads one page again with expression, the way a character would say it.
2. When your child is stuck, say the first sound and let them finish the word, rather than saying the whole word.
3. Afterward, ask: where did the story happen? How do you know?
