How do narrated books help reading?

Hearing fluent reading while watching the words builds sight-word recognition and sense of sentence rhythm; the highlight keeps the child's eyes on the print. Read it together first, then let them replay it on their own. For what to practise alongside, see the reading skills by grade.
