This activity gives young readers a chance to tell their own stories. The parent provides a character and setting from a familiar book. The child is then prompted to create a story around them and to draw a picture. The parent asks leading questions to help add detail, or move the plot along. Storytelling helps kids identify important story elements while building confidence in speaking.
