- All stories include suggested activities to extend learning through exploration and hands-on projects.

All children can see themselves in Andie when they choose which of the six different depictions of Andie they want to read and talk about. The simple text in the Andie stories is appropriate for emergent readers. Children and adults can engage with the thought-provoking ideas in the stories by referring to our conversation starters.

FOR PARENTS: A series of free one-minute videos (in English and Spanish) introduces families to four themes at the core of the ReadAskChat Method™: Reading and Talking about Stories; Imagination and Storytelling; Curiosity and Science Learning; and Open-ended Conversation.
FOR EARLY EDUCATORS: A digital guide focuses on using ReadAskChat to develop dialogic reading practice and advance children’s foundational learning. The guide helps schools use ReadAskChat in informal learning settings; as a tool for classroom volunteers, tutors, and aides working with individuals or in small learning groups; and as a centerpiece of a family-engagement strategy.
