WiseOwlKnits Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 When you read the excerpts to your child, can they watch? My DD always wants to sit with me to hear the story, but I've been telling her no since she can see the words if she sits with me. Now I'm wondering if it matters if she can see the story, as long as she isn't looking at the answers to the questions.... Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen+4dc Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I let my ds7 read it with me if he wants to (it varies each day). But, when he answers questions and narrates he's not allowed to look. I'm not sure if there's a "right" way. I figure what does it hurt to have him reading along great literature passages with me, he's seeing proper English properly written down, right? :001_smile: Getting him to be able to do that is the goal, right? I think in the later levels it moves to having the child read the story themselves before they narrate. We're only on week 9 of WWE2, so others will correct me if I'm wrong! Just my opinion, for what that's worth!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereneverever Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I used to let my daughter watch, but I stopped because she was getting distracted by all the other words for other lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monalisa Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I let my DD follow along as I read, but not when I ask the questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
