The first read through is done with the therapist. The second read through is done with the instruments for each of the components from the story. During the third reading the students have the items from the story and they are putting them in order. This is a wonderful interactive story that looks at character traits, setting, a problem, plan and solution as well as a resolution. Have fun!
