A family story tool should strengthen participation, not move the adult out of the experience. Start with something the child recognizes, choose an emotional destination, review the language, and leave room for questions, prediction, laughter, and repetition during shared reading.
What does parent-guided mean?
The adult chooses the purpose and details, reviews the material, adapts it to the child, and stays present during reading. A tool can suggest language; it cannot know the child or replace caregiver judgment.
