WAYS TO GET STARTED ON YOUR OWN:
1. If you live close by, take your copy of the book with you the next time you visit. Show them the book and say, "I just picked up
this book at the store and it is interesting. May I ask you a few of the questions that I've read?"

2. If your Mom, Dad, or grandparent(s) are coming to your place, leave the book in a prominent (but not overly obvious) spot.
Let them notice the book and ask about it. You can then say, "It's great reading, and it also has some good questions in it.
Do you mind if I ask you some?"

3. If you exchange e-mails with your Mom or Dad (even if only occasionally), send an e-mail telling them about this "new
book" you just got. Don't get too long-winded in describing the book, but then say, "How about if I send you one of the
questions every other day, and then you will have time to respond before the next question gets there?" You can also do this
with grandparents fi they have e-mail. If not, mail them a short note explaining what you want them to do.

4. Surprise your Mom or Dad by calling them on a night when you know they are usually home. If they sound surprised that
you called them, just say, "I just picked up a great book, and I wanted to call so I could ask you a couple of questions from it."
This also works with grandparents.

5. Select no more than six questions from the book, and write them (in your own handwriting) on some sheets of paper - two
questions per sheet. Mail those questions along with a brief note telling them about this new book you found at the store,
and that you would like them to write their answers on the pages and send them back to you.

6. Most of our grandparents had different situations when they went to school. Start a conversation with them by simply
asking, "What was it like when you went to school? Did you go to a big school or a small one?"

7. Another set of questions that is fun to ask (of Mom or Dad, but especially of Grandma or Grandpa) is "How did you learn to
drive? Who taught you? What was your first car?"
