Complete the reading or learn from it! It seems I've lost focus of the learning in AO and we are getting it done.... humf... and that's not enough!!!
- Old Way: Read the entire selection in a book in one sitting. Regardless of the length...
- Challenge: There is the greatest memory in the first & last 5 minutes of a reading.
- New way: Read for a short time 10 to 15 minutes... take a break (laundry, cup of tea, brush teeth.... asundry!) Then back to the book... or rotate books.... We loose time in the adjustment but it is gained in the recall....
Benefit!! I saw Ladybug sit with her daddy and tell MORE THAT EVER BEFORE.... of our AO2 time. Wow! I'm blown away!! And realizing I've had my eyes on completion rather than on learning!!!
This is truely an adjustment in my vision!! Our scope!! In the very rhythem & rhyme of our day!! This is a power boost to our narration!! Yea!!
Grace! ss

I'm working with my oldest this week. I'm going to have to add timing our readings to the next couple days and see how her narration goes. I definitely lose her. That's the thing that I'm working on with her.
