Where does the story take place?
Who is in the story?
What happens in the beginning, middle, and end of the story?
What is this book about?
Then have your child draw pictures to show their story and later in the year write their story out.
For example: their favorite TV show, a food they like/dislike, a place they would like to visit.
If your child has more extensive needs, encourage them to explore their environment through sensory play and experiences and respond to what feels soft, rough, smooth, or bumpy.
Free family play groups for children ages 0-5 at several locations across San Mateo County.
