Select about five to ten pictures from your favorite magazine for children and mark the pages with small sticky notes. Then one at a time select a picture and talk about it together. If your child does not have much to say about a particular picture, give your opinion. Then, when it starts to feel natural, ask some open-ended questions like these:
- Who is in the picture?
- What are they doing?
- Where are they?
- When is this taking place?
- Why are the children so happy, sad, angry, etc.?
