The first part of "The Big Parade" (and every Pick A Picture activity) introduces new words individually and in simple sentences. The second part of the activity uses these same words in new sentences to make a short story. A story title screen appears followed by the sentence "A big tiger is in a parade." The computer reads the sentence aloud. Then it's your child's turn to read the sentence. After the child reads the sentence, press ENTER to continue. Three other sentences
are shown and read, one at a time. Each time, your child has the opportunity to read the sentence at his or her own pace and then press ENTER to go on.
At the end of the group of sentences, the entire story is displayed. The computer says ''Read the story again. Then press ENTER to go on." Encourage your child to carefully read the story again. If necessary, help him or her with any words that cause difficulty.
When your child has finished reading the story and has pressed ENTER, the computer asks "Do you want to read this story again?" Your child can press 1 for "yes" or 2 for "no." This time, press 2, and the display returns to the Pick A Picture title screen. Now, your child can select another Pick A Picture story, or he or she can press SHIFT W to return to the Early Reading Selection List. Before going ahead, however, let's look at some of the special features and keys of the Early Reading module
