Stories grow when you share them

Looking, imagining and taking turns can turn a book into a conversation.

A wordless book, family photo or drawing can open a story. Ask what is happening, listen to the idea and add one short sentence. There is no need to correct every word; keep the exchange shared and enjoyable.

You can try

  1. Let your child choose a picture and begin with what catches their attention.
  2. Ask what happened before or what might happen next.
  3. Tell one part, then pause to offer a turn.
