What's Inside
What kind of toys do you like to play with? We love to play as you will see.
Read this one on one with a child and talk about toys while you point to the words together. The simple lines give children practice with repeated words, sentence direction, and fluency. It fits well for early readers who are learning to match spoken words to print. Read it aloud more than once and invite your child to join in on the repeated lines.
