The Median Sib

I got an email from my daughter this morning that made this Grandma/Reading Specialist happy.

Just a funny story I thought you would enjoy.  We were reading with Sweet Stuff [5 years] and Sunshine [3 years] trying to apply what Mrs. K had said about asking the kids to retell the story and the characters and problem and solution.  Sweet Stuff did it perfectly - in fact I was impressed.  And Sunshine was also able to do it if she looked at the pictures.  I said, “Sweet Stuff, that was great!”  and she said, “Don’t you also want to know my text to self connection and my text to text connection about this book?”  She, of course, gave me one of each, but I thought it was really funny to hear her use those words.

And the reading teacher in Sweet Stuff’s Grandma Carol cheered!  We feel fortunate she got Mrs. K as her kindergarten teacher.
