Enjoy creating your story books, base them on your child and your own experiences. They can be a few pages or pages can be added if you use a binder to put them in. I think this is a wonderful way to engage your child. Collect real objects or models where the real thing isn’t possible. Stick them in the book, and talk about them as you turn the pages. Add braille, large print, sound labels if this works for your child. Tell the story, enjoy the story, act out the story, over and over again!
