Share and share alike...

9/7/2011

    As a beginning reader- some books seem endlessly long. My youngest son often checks the number of pages before selecting the book he will read to me. I choose to take this as a sign that he likes to plan ahead -  rather than a sign he’s afraid of commitment, but whatever the motivation.... I often ease the blow of a longer book by offering to share the reading responsibilities.

    This ‘sharing’ often means reading every other sentence, or paragraph or page.... or character.

    Mo Willems’ Elephant & Piggie books are all conversations between the two friends. If the adult takes one friend and the child takes the other – they share the reading.

It’s a great compromise for beginning readers.
