Holding a Book the Right Way

Before we read, we hold the book the right way. Find the front cover with the big picture and the title.

Make sure the picture isn't upside down! The spine, the book's backbone, goes on the left side.

Now the book is ready to open.

Holding a book correctly is the first step every reader learns, and you can do it all by yourself.
