Describe in detail Papa and Liesel working together to as she learned to read.

After one of Liesel's nightmares, Hans finds her book and agrees to read it to her. Hans, a poor reader himself, is puzzled by the book about grave-digging, but begins reading to the young girl anyway. Hans finds that Liesel cannot read any words herself, so he begins teaching her the alphabet using sandpaper and a painter's pencil. Hans continues reading to and teaching Liesel every night after her continued nightmares.
