Funny to see the other side of things.<BR/><BR/>The basic idea of "When Will I Read?" is that we learn to read bit by bit, and then suddenly without hardly realizing, we're really reading. Like I said in the post, there are just some really random sections in that book. Anna Maria isn't mentioned in the entire rest of the book except those two pages. On the two pages before, George reads the words under each picture in his favorite book, and someone else tells him he just remembered it. The teacher tells them that's how reading begins. Turn the page, and there's Anna Maria and her doll. In the picture the washcloth isn't hardly touching the doll. So if you read it with a really nice voice it doesn't seem bad at all.Marnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02716988450649905133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400650783378451880.post-50614795208304643792009-01-14T11:33:00.000-07:002009-01-14T11:33:00.000-07:00So, what's appealing about the book "When Will I R...So, what's appealing about the book "When Will I Read?"

Sariah has it in her library bag. I haven't gotten to it yet, but I can't wait!<BR/><BR/>P.S. This is a surprise, so don't tell :) Sariah told me that her favorite book is Little Pea, so I got it for her birthday and I'm also making her a t-shirt of the cover of the book!GumbyandPokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618133692385105430noreply@blogger.com
