One intact picture book.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Open a page with several familiar objects and choose one pictured object.
- Say its name slowly and notice its first sound.
- Look for another pictured object with the same beginning sound, or take turns suggesting one aloud.
Adult holds the book and stays beside the child; accept pointing, words, or gestures.
