Steps:

• Ask Fela “what month is it?”
• to prompt him you can point to the wooden calendar or use the makaton sign.

Well done, Fela!

• Read as much as Fela will tolerate and time will allow.
• Prompt Fela to sit on the settee to your left, and put your hand lightly on his right hand and gently guide his forefinger to follow underneath the words as you read.
• If Fela does not want to sit on the settee, you can also sit on the red footstool in which case Fela will be on your right on the rocking chair.
• Try your best to read with drama and emotion
