Ktede Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Do you do one every chapter or one per book? Are they just general summaries or something more complex like character analysis? DS is 9 (4th grade) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherGoose Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm doing it, consistently, with my 3rd grader for the first time. She's reading "A Little Princess" right now (advanced reader so it's not difficult for her). I have her read a chapter a day (again not a problem for HER, but not necessarily something that would work for every child), and then I have her do a narration immediately afterwards. I found that it's too overwhelming for her to do a narration on more than one chapter, maybe two--she gets bogged down in the details.ETA for her it's just a chronological summary of what happened. During the narration we might discuss some character stuff but mostly it's just helping her figure out what's important and what's not.
