What to Do
With your child, make up a story for
the two of you to tell together, taking turns saying one sentence at a time.
* For a young child, choose a real life story so they have personal
background to draw upon.
* For an older child you my decide to use a real life subject or a
subject
that will create a fictional story.
Begin by deciding on a topic, such as fairies, pirates or your recent
trip to grandma's house.
Say
the first sentence: "Once upon a time a pirate lived in . . ."
Let you child continue the story with the second sentence.
Continue taking turns with your child making up and telling parts of the
story until you decide to end it—maybe after eight or ten sentences.
Take turns beginning and finishing a
story. Ask other family members and friends to join in. This is the
perfect activity for a car ride. Get everyone in the car involved!
