| Our card sets can be used in any early childhood setting, including the home, to extend and enhance the child’s reading experience with a favorite storybook; or to add focused language lessons to read-aloud or shared reading programs. These activities will also stand alone as independent work for the child, and can be used and enjoyed with the storybook to build vocabulary and language concepts. |
