Magic Marker Monday: Colourful Reading

I have to say that between Speech Therapy and his First Grade Teacher, James has some awesomely creative books to read. Recently, he actually made the book he was then assigned to read. I absolutely love this idea, and can see it working in many different ways.

A Real-life Reading Rainbow

It looks like the teacher printed out several sentences on a sheet of paper, which the kids then cut out, matched, and glued to the appropriate "crayon" page. Very good for working those mad scissor skillz, my friend!

The pages are then placed in the "box," which is more like a simple pouch made of 2 pieces of construction paper.

James' assignment was to then take his book home and read it four times. Could be one person, could be four different people. The listener signs off after each reading. He's read once to each of us at home, which leaves room for reading to his grandparents this week. He is so excited to be the one reading to us for a change!

I can hardly wait for the next one to come home.
