Five easy ways to talk about any page

1. 1Leave a blank — let them finish it. ('Leo found a ___.')
2. 2Remember together. ('What did we find last time?')
3. 3Open it up. ('What's happening here?')
4. 4Ask little questions. ('Where's the butterfly? What colour is the flower?')
5. 5Connect it to them. ('Have you ever seen a bird like this one?')

When reading gets hard

Notice what you're feeling. Let it be there. Get curious about what your child wants. Let it pass, and follow their lead.
