Each day your child will listen to one or more stories as a read aloud. Each day during snack time a story will be read. On this page, I will list the titles that are read so that you can ask your child to tell you about the story.

Some questions that may guide your conversation:

Where did the story take place? (setting)

Who were the main characters?

What happened in the story? What happened first, second, etc?

How did the story end?

What did you learn from the story?

What did you think of the story? Did you like it? Why or why not?

Who do you think would like this story? Why?
