Read Alouds

Nathan CAN read...he just doesn't seem to have the desire to pick up a book and actually read for fun just yet, even though he sees us reading books frequently. So tonight I managed to get him to read a stack of books. What card did I play, you might be asking? I suggested he read to his caterpillars...the ones that arrived on Monday for our butterfly kit. That seemed to be just the right motivation for him. He read away to those caterpillars, showing them the pictures & everything. It was very cute!
