My daughter has an incredible memory. This is a wonderful thing except she tends to memorize the pages of her books based on the picture. Instead of reading the words. This is
obviously frustrating when she zooms through a book like she’s "reading" it but
she’s missing words or saying words that aren’t correct. So I decided to have
her illustrate her own book. This was my first attempt and she did GREAT with
it! She had a lot of fun illustrating each page and the best part… she was
ACTUALLY READING! I will definitely be
making more of these.
Tig the Pig is the book we made. Each page has
a sentence and a picture of Tig. Just Tig. Once Savanna read the sentence correctly, she was allowed to decorate Tig accordingly.
ie. “Tig can wear a pink wig.”
Then once each page
is decorated, you can cut them in half (printed landscape in two columns) and
staple the book together. Your child will be so excited to share this book with
everyone because she REALLY CAN READ IT all by herself!
Check out Savanna reading Tig the Pig J
Bye for now,
Kristina
