Tips for listening together

• Choose a quiet spot and start with the volume low.
• Play the same story a few times. Knowing what comes next helps many children relax and join in.
• Pause whenever you like to point at the pictures or ask, “How do you think they feel?”
• Use headphones if other sounds in the room are distracting.
