Read-aloud tips for Cheetah (ages 4–7)
- Change your voice: read the running scenes fast and excited with a “Whoosh!”, and the purring “purr, purr” scenes soft and sweet.
- Ask, “Why can the cheetah only run for a little while?” and pretend to catch your breath, panting together.
- Try extending it into a “cheetah hunt” game, creeping up quietly in the living room and then dashing off on cue.
