• "Let's start by playing a game with alphabet flashcards. I will show you a card, and I want you to tell me the letter and a word that starts with that letter."
• "Now, let's read a picture book together. I will read a page, and then I want you to try reading the next page. Remember, it's okay to sound out the words if you need to."
