Play guide
- 1Choose one familiar picture-book page with an action such as walking, knocking, rain or a door opening.
- 2One person reads the page while the other adds only simple body sounds: fingertip steps, one knock or a soft “shhh” for rain.
- 3Swap jobs on the next page. Keep the book’s words unchanged so the sound effects are the only extra layer.
Success signals
The child connects a written or pictured action to timing and sound while listening to a shared text.
If it's tricky
If reading is not comfortable, the adult reads both times and the child switches between two sound-effect choices.
