📖Reading is a great way to work on our speech and language!!
Today, we're heading to the shore with:
Pete the Cat: Pete at the Beach
by James Dean.
🩷Why we love it for speech and language:
🏝️Introduces fun summer and beach vocabulary
💬Encourages conversations about trying new things and building confidence
⁉️Great for practicing sequencing, making predictions, and answering wh-questions
Try it at home:🏠
🐚Ask your child to name and describe the things Pete sees at the beach.
❓Pause throughout the story and ask, "What do you think Pete will do next?"
📘After reading, have your child retell the story using first, next, then, and last or talk about their favorite beach memory.
Remember to take time to talk!!
