Read: The Bear Who Could Not Sleep

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 your child to tell it back: what happened first, next and last?

Read-aloud: The Thread That Glowed

1. Read “The Thread That Glowed” aloud, and let your child turn the pages.
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.
