  1. Scan the book with a young reader. Look at all the illustrations. Talk about what the book might be about.<\/li>\n
  2. Sit side-by-side and help the reader track the sentences. Run your finger under the words as each of you read sentences. It helps a student keep his place and practice the left-to-right progression of English sentences.<\/li>\n
  3. Take turns reading aloud.<\/li>\n
  4. Help (gently) with unknown or mispronounced words. If the child loves words, stop and print the word on a card and save it for later as a way to review new words.<\/li>\n
