Familiar picture books A familiar picture book; If required, a symbol card to represent 'who' (for example a question mark next to a picture of a face).	Ask 'who' questions about familiar pictures in books. For example, ask 'Who is this?'; Model the answer if the child has difficulty answering, for example "This is Sam".
