The Lorax - Read Aloud Picture Book
Tips to support young readers:
• Reading stories aloud over and over to familiarise the story meaning and language structures.
• Encourage children to predict words and what will happen.
• On third and subsequent readings encourage the child to pay attention to the words as they are highlighted and to read along.
• Don’t force the issue- listening to stories over and over will help develop vocabulary. Enjoy!
