STOCK TIP
Parents, be casual on this one. This is an easy exercise to do when you’re at home, in the dentist’s or doctor’s waiting room, or you’re waiting in a long grocery line flipping through magazines. Just talk through anything you see on the picture. If anything, it will provide a new bank of vocabulary to hear from you.
