If the book is too frustrating, offer to take turns reading or echo read (you read a phrase, then the child tries it). Don’t overcorrect or interrupt the child. Try reading in character, acting out parts of the book, or other techniques to engage the child in the story. Leave out the second rhyme in a patterned rhyme book and have the child guess the word that is missing. This is a building block in the complicated process of beginning to read. Hearing and reciting the rhyme, repetition, and rhythm of words allows them to begin to remember the words. Children enjoy read-aloud stories that have repeated phrases, familiar songs and patterns. It’s okay to stop in the middle of a book if a child seems uninterested. Occasionally point to words as you read so the child knows that words flow from left to right and that the story comes from words rather than pictures. It’s important for pre-readers to notice print, know how to handle a book, and know how to follow the written word on a page. Allow time after each book to discuss what most interested you both about the story. Follow the child’s interests when helping choose books. Model the strategies above by making your own predictions and descriptions of the pictures. 
Children may be unsure of how to answer an open-ended question.The dog is digging under the fence to find his friend.”) Repeat what the child says and expand on it.Follow the child’s answer with another question.(“What do you predict will happen next?”)
