happyhomemaker Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I always assumed that SWB was just trying to appeal to a wide variety of children. With varied texts, you're bound to come across some that your dc like. If you are pulling your own passages, you don't have to worry about what different kids may or may not like. You probably do want to make sure you are reading different types of passages though. In the workbook some are descriptive, some are narrative, some are fiction, some are non fiction. I think the most important thing is to be able to narrate different kinds of passages, even if they are from the same book or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdownie Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Thank you! I was thinking that was the case (i.e. appealing to a variety of children), but I'm always second guessing what I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamajag Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 We've found so many books my girls have enjoyed that I am more than happy with the excepts. Also, since they are classics, many are in the public domain and available for free through Kindle (we use iPad app here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
