Rollo

Excerpt from Rollo: Learning to Talk
These little talks about pictures are mainly intended to be read by a mother, or by one of the older children, to a little one who is learning to talk. Their design is to interest and amuse the child, and at the same time to teach it the use of language and the meaning of words. To the reader, I have three directions to give.
1. Act out all the motions described. For instance, begin the first story when the child is away at play, and let the first sentence be the summons to you. Point at all the parts of the picture which are described; and in fine, in every case, suit the action to the word.
2. Read distinctly and with all the natural tones, and in the manner of conversation. Do this so completely that the child cannot tell whether you are reading or talking.
