What this lesson teaches
When we read together, we listen, look, and join in.
Worked examples
Example 1
During a story about a big drum, everyone can clap 'boom, boom' at the same time.
Example 2
During a story about a rainstorm, everyone can tap their fingers like raindrops.
Example 3
Joining in helps you remember. Saying the repeated line out loud with everyone makes the story stick.

Leer Juntos
Cuando leemos juntos, escuchamos, miramos y participamos.
Ejemplo 1: Durante un cuento sobre un tambor grande, todos pueden aplaudir 'bum, bum' al mismo tiempo.
Ejemplo 2: Durante un cuento sobre una tormenta, todos pueden tamborilear los dedos como gotas de lluvia.
Ejemplo 3: Participar ayuda a recordar. Decir en voz alta la frase que se repite, junto con todos, hace que el cuento se te quede.
