Your child learns when you think out loud

Children learn by watching adults. And when you talk about what you are thinking and doing, you make it easier for your child to learn. If you are cooking, for example, you might say, "I'm looking for a cake recipe. I don't have time to read all the recipes in this cookbook, so I'm going to turn to the index in the back. Here under the letter C is a recipe for chocolate cake." Your child will see how useful an alphabetized index is.
