Shared Reading

Reading activities for parents and educators

Use each Mochi and Zuki story as a starting point for a gentle conversation about kindness, manners, feelings and thoughtful choices.

Before reading

Look at the cover together and ask children what they think the characters might learn.

During reading

Pause at key moments to invite predictions, name feelings and notice kind or respectful choices.

After reading

Choose one small idea from the story to practise at home, in the classroom or with friends that day.
