  3. So many sweet and amazing moments! So cute how she uses her “storybook voice” as she imitates your reading expression…awesome how she runs her finger along the words as she “reads”…great how she points to each item (love the “oh–one lollipop”)…and did she say the caterpillar had a “stummyache”? A-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!

  4. It’s amazing to watch this through my teacher eyes. What a wonderful way to learn the concepts about print. I wish I could make a video and show it to every parent in California. “This! -this is what your child can do. Read to them.”
    This seriously gives me hope for the future. Thank you.
