How does your child use the books that were made:
Have you shared this kind of activity with anyone else supporting your
child?
Have your interactions increased with your child in any way, as a result of
this kind of activity?
If you chose to share this with your child’s teacher, how would you
structure that sharing and what would you tell them about your child’s
learning, independence, and interests?
Have you made more experience type activities yourself?
If not yet, would you? And why?
You may have agreed to present the outcome of this activity at a conference.
Tell us when you are available and willing to bring the books, make a video
(of your child reading), or tell about the outcome at the following
conferences. Sue Baker will contact you in advance to prepare remarks and
confirm your participation.
