🔤 How to read: Every dish name is split into chunks. Read each chunk slowly, then blend them together. For example: PUM + KIN = PUMKIN — like pumpkin!

📝 Parent note: This is a roleplay reading exercise. Help your child by pretending to be the waiter ("Hello! What can I get you?"), then let them be the customer reading the chunked dish names. Mix up roles for variety. The receipt at the bottom doubles as a final read-aloud and a quick math add-up if you'd like.
