…by starting immediately.

It’s the first day of summer vacation and yes, we already started the first series for the summer.  Junie B., here we come!  G ended Kindergarten as a pretty strong level L, but her inferencing needs some work.  I wanted to choose a series that was funny, because she needs funny.  And I wanted her to feel connected with the character-one who is pretty opinionated and outspoken-just like G is.  But, here, in this series, Junie B. is outspoken in school!  (Hubba wha?) G is certainly not the same kind of kid in school as she is out of school it seems.  Which is really the norm from my experience, but it really bothers me!

The series is a level M, which means that she will need support.  I read the first half of first book aloud, and now I feel like I have a sore throat, but I could tell that it was worth it, and she is totally into it.  What’s cool is that the book has 3 paper dolls, which I was reminded, “could be used to act out the stories after we read them”.  And we will.

Fun posts about what we do with the series to boost comprehension to come.  Happy summer reading!  What books will you choose?
