Does your child ask for the same book again...and again...and again?

Good news. You don’t have to talk them into something new.

Rereading familiar stories gives young children a chance to notice more, remember what comes next, become familiar with new words and eventually “read” parts of the story right along with you.

So when you hear, “Again!” for the fifth night in a row, turn back to page one.
