For younger children (especially nonreaders), family members can read the book multiple times to the children. The children can then "read" the book themselves between by telling themselves the story based upon the pictures as they recall it. It can serve as a conversation starter with older children as well if the family discusses the concepts as they read it a few pages at a time (breaking the book into serial reading such as Lee did for the IDT meetings). <br /><br />Grandy's dog is my favorite--he's on every page so that the children can search for him.Dr. Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229315297694888405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231979855831826598.post-66057610998160209742011-01-03T23:01:13.842-08:002011-01-03T23:01:13.842-08:00Amy,
