Open lesson 1Listen, notice print, and tell a little story

Before you begin
- An adult can read every direction and choice aloud.
- Listen to and repeat familiar spoken words; independent reading is not required.
Choose by skill rather than age alone. Read with an adult when useful, revisit a lesson, or explore another grade.
