A grandmother told me how she sometimes became part of a story to her
very young and distant grandchild. She wrote:
I audiotape the story and mail the book to him along with the cassette,'
she wrote, 'but there's more to it than that. In recording, when I get to the
end of a page, I talk about the illustrations on that page, and then say
'turn the page'. He loves this part and tells his Mom that he wants to
listen to Grandma's 'turn the page' book. When children are too young
to read by themselves, they can follow along independently when you tell
them-on the tape-when it's time to 'turn the page.'
