Ask questions while sharing books

1-5 minutes

Sharing books with your child can be about more than just reading the text.

While you’re reading together, you can also ask your little one questions such as “What is this?” and “Can you point to the duck?” And if your little one is talking, try asking them open-ended questions like “Where is the duck going?”

These types of questions allow more opportunities for “serve and return” interactions and keep children interested in the activity!
