I invited them to "bump into me" on two specific evenings in July. I was tickled when some showed up! <BR/><BR/>On chapter books, I am thinking that it seems like the next logical step for us as teachers and parents...chapter books...they are longer, seem more challenging in terms of level, and they make kids feel like "better/older/grown-up" readers when really they need the supports of picture books. There are picture books that are just as long and even more difficult than some chapter books. <BR/>I just think we rush into books without pictures when as readers(especially primary readers) kids use pictures for not only print strategies (reading text) but also comprehension strategies(predicting, inferring,etc.). <BR/> I say to my youngest son..."can you stay 4 forever?" because I want him to enjoy every bit of being a kid and I want my readers (especially 1st/2nd) to enjoy every picture book out there!<BR/>Thanks for responding and I hope this makes some kind of sense.KatieKatie Dicesarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267193046510544304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973476422033091912.post-44984465439857376022007-07-25T14:51:00.000-07:002007-07-25T14:51:00.000-07:00WOW!

Do you notify them at the end of the school year or do you send them reminders through the summer?<BR/>The picture book thing? I am not sure? Why do they want to move to chapter books so suddenly?Sarah Amickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448996968479036346noreply@blogger.com
