Each day, families record what they read, draw or name a favorite character, and use the discussion prompt to talk about the story together.

How to do it

  1. Print the page and keep it near your books.
  2. Each day, read together and write the book title and a favorite character.
  3. Talk about that day’s question after reading.
  4. Check the box each day, and name a favorite book at the end of the week.

What children practice

  • Building a daily reading routine
  • Recalling characters and events

Tips for grown-ups

  • Any book counts, including library books and books read aloud.
  • Ten minutes a day is a great start.
  • Let your child choose some of the books.
