R.I.F. (READING IS FUNDAMENTAL)
Hello Everyone,
My son who is all of 14 months old has an obsession with books. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the fact that he LOVES books. He doesn't have a FAVORITE (that i know of). This is how it goes, he goes to get a book and backs up on you to sit in your lap so you can read it to him. Don't even think of skipping a page, he's onto that. It's as if he's saying hey! i remember there was a dog, cat, horse, rabbit sequence in this book. God forbid if I fast forward to the rabbit and skip the dog and cat, it's a repeat offender offense and thus I have to start all over again.
All I can think of back in the day (when I was younger) this was pretty much all i remember about my 2nd grade teacher, she was obsessed, she was tricky though: she would offer food, candy, stickers, whatever to get us to read and ummm hello, yes it worked!
So to my second grade teacher: THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

DJ is so cute!
They really do get so that they know the sequence of books. I've tried the skipping pages thing before too (oops).
For really long stories, I will sometimes "summarize" instead of reading each and every word. That stops working after a time too!
I'm just happy my son likes books - my first grade teacher had some of the same tricks as yours.
