For Parents
Tips for reading together
- Read a little every day, and let your child hold the book and turn the pages.
- Talk about the feelings in the story — how excited Leti was, the big surprise when her plate flew away, and how happy she was at the end.
- Ask your child to retell the story in their own words.
- Point out the sight words together, and celebrate every try.
The big lessons to share
Spaghetti tastes much better when we share — sharing is caring!
And when things flip and flop, try again! Leti's lunch flew out the window to a hungry seagull — and the very next day she was back at the table with a smile. A surprise can turn into something even better: a new friend to share with.
