BEFORE YOU READ

You could look at the front cover of the book and ask your child – What animals are on the front cover? What colours do you see? How do you play Hide and Seek?  What do you think will happen in this story? What did you do on your birthday?  When is your birthday?  What games do you like to play?

DURING THE STORY

You should listen to the story once all the way through using our Three Read Approach.

On the second read you could pause the video and use the subtitle questions to help your child think more deeply about the story and share their ideas.

On the third read you could mute the audio and ask your child to read the story to you.
