That is amazing!<br /><br />After all of the great posts about this book, I think I may have to suggest it as a book study at school.<br /><br />I love the way you introduced the idea of "fake" reading to your kids. This is what so many kids do, especially at a young age because they are so focused on decoding and accuracy. What a great lesson. I will be trying (and sharing)!

I plan to take time to use your lesson with my upper elementary readers too as they are at a critical point, and often, they become word callers because they focus so heavily on decoding and fluency vs. thinking as they read. I appreciate the wonderful handouts as they give a great visual model for explaining.
