EVERY PAGE OPENS
A POSSIBILITY

A creative reading program begins with a small invitation: look closely, imagine freely and give an idea a place to grow.

Part.01
Begin with a page.
Leave room for a question.

Read with
curiosity

Look at the picture before explaining it. Notice a color, a face or a small detail that could become the start of a story.

Invite different answers. A useful question opens the conversation without deciding what everyone should see.

ORIGINALITY

Notice
the small things

A gesture, a shadow or a quiet corner can hold the beginning of a story. Give the picture a little time before turning the page.

Ask what the child noticed first, and what became visible only after a second look.

A different
beginning

Pause where the story could turn. Imagine a new setting, a surprising visitor or a different choice.

SMALL
POSSIBILITIES

Like a spark

Keep the first idea light. A sketch, a few spoken words or one small gesture can be enough to begin.

KEEP WONDERING
Part.02
A good question gives
an idea somewhere to go.

What could
happen next?

Change one detail in the picture. Consider how the characters might feel, what they might try and what could surprise them.

Let the answer remain unfinished long enough for another possibility to appear.

Part.03

Give the idea
a shape

Turn one possibility into something visible. Draw a setting, make a small character or arrange a few shapes into a scene.

The first version can stay simple. Its purpose is to help the storyteller see what they want to try next.

MAKE A SMALL BEGINNING

Let a line
become a story.

Try it
on paper

Draw one place where the story might begin. Add a detail that makes the setting feel surprising or familiar.

Keep the marks that lead to another question.

DRAW / DISCOVER
LISTEN CLOSELY

Another voice.
Another possibility.

Invite someone else to describe the same picture. Notice where their story begins and which details they choose.

Keep one idea that expands your own. A shared story can hold more than one point of view.

Three ways to wonder.

What do you notice?

Start with a small detail and describe it in your own words.

What could change?

Alter one part of the scene and imagine what might follow.

What would you try?

Give a character a choice, then explore where it could lead.

Part.04

Share an
unfinished story

Tell someone where the idea began. Show the detail that changed it, and leave a little space for a question.

The story can keep growing after it leaves the page.

Keep the
conversation open.

One thing
to carry forward

Ask what surprised the storyteller, what changed along the way and what they would like to explore again.

Keep a drawing, a question or a few spoken words as the beginning of the next page.

Every finished page leaves room for another beginning. Bring a question, follow a detail and see where the next story takes you.
