Her science is really text-heavy and it's taking us a loooooooooong time to get through each chapter. I picked up this book at Barnes & Nobel last week and decided to try reading her science book out loud to her.
We did it this way: I read 1 section out loud and let her stop me when she wanted to talk about it. It took us about 15 minutes to read just 2 pages but we had some great discussion about it! Then I had her read it on her own, answer the question at the end, then fill in a reading response sheet. I'm going to keep doing this through the chapter and see if it makes a difference.
What do you think? |
That sounds like a great plan Val! I had that same problem when I was in school and was totally lost in science and history partially because of it.
