Ideas for shared reading• Encourage your child as they read the story. Praise is a key

part of making reading fun.

• Once they have finished, ask your child to retell the story in their own way.

• Alternatively, you could ask them which part of the story they most enjoyed and why, or who was their favourite character. This will help you to tell how much of the story’s meaning your child has understood on first reading.
