ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Title Power

The title is one thing to keep in mind as you read as it may help you figure out the problem or what's important.

As you read with your child this week ask them the following questions: What does the title connect to in the story?

• What’s the problem?
• How does the character’s problem connect to the title?
• Where in the book did you find the problem? Let’s check to see if it matches the title.
