How to help

Let your child listen, look and try before you explain. Point to the next picture if needed. Accept drawing, pointing or a voice response; writing is optional. Save the child’s own work with a date. Ask for a clue from the picture, source or test instead of supplying an answer. Notice what changed after your child tried the task.
