Listening and Responding to Reading

Think with your child about the stories they have read this past week, or that you have read together.

Is there a favourite? What was a favourite part of the story? Tell your child about your favourite part of a story.

  • What was your favourite part?
  • Why was it your favourite part? Did it make you laugh? Did you like the illustrations? Was it suspenseful? Did it make you excited? Curious?

Encourage your child to think about their favourite part of a story from this past week and share their thinking. Who would they like to share it with? How would they like to share it? A book review for a newspaper or magazine? A commercial? A video? A paragraph with a picture? There are so many ways to share our thinking about our reading!
