"I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves." ~ Anna Quindlen

How to "Read it Again"

Picture
1. Begin by choosing one of the books from our home page. You will need an actual hard copy or digital version of the book you choose. You can purchase your book from us via Amazon.com, borrow a copy from the library, or visit a local bookstore.
​
Once you have your book in hand, it’s time to get busy!

2. The first reading of the story should be simple and pure. Just read the story. Don't stop to ask questions or explain. Snuggle in close to one another. There  are no hidden agendas or plans for this reading. 

After your first reading, try to find time to "read it again. Shoot for at least two or three (if not more) additional readings of the story over the course of the few days. It's even okay to read the book multiple times a day... I actually encourage it!  You want your child to love the book and want to  hear it again and again.

​3. If you've purchased one of our Beyond the Book downloads, try to follow-up each reading with one of the ideas we've provided. The ideas and materials are educational and aligned specifically with each book. No two downloads contain the same activities or ideas
Each of our Beyond the Book  downloads includes the following:
  • ​vocabulary flashcards
  • a list of multiple fun ways to use your flashcards
  • comprehension questions structured around Bloom's Taxonomy
  • a writing activity
  • a recipe
  • an art project
  • ideas for taking your learning out into the world (aka field trips)
  • links to educational toys that take the learning beyond the book  

If choose not to purchase our resource downloads, try to focus on a different literacy skill with each new reading. Ideas can be found within the book's page within our site. 
​
It’s within this layering of reading, follow-up activities, and play that the real magic happens!

 
It’s just that simple!

My favorite part of each guide has to be the comprehension questions. We read together all the time, but  I never know what questions to ask. These guides have the basic questions, but also, deeper thought provoking questions that really get my kids  thinking!     Andrea Lubitz - Charlotte, NC
