Thank you, Ivy! Great food for thought re: how to start different conversations about a given book. I'm certain I can rope him in after some of the ideas you've all provided me with today
Sweetie-- such a great family memory. And the line about comprehension from the teacher bugs me a bit, too. My son is soooo busy but he'll sit and read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for hours. Now, I know he's understood it because he gushed about it after and he didn't miss a beat. But, even if he hadn't shared it all with me, who sits and reads for hours if they aren't understanding what they are reading? Especially if they are so busy?
