SHARK ATTACK!

Today’s training focused upon reading the book Shark Attack to a partner and identifying where we would stop the story in reading to a child. To be honest I felt kind of silly reading a children’s book to another graduate student, (especially when in a child’s voice, she started saying things like “Ooooo!” or “OH NOOO!”) but after a while it became fun and to be truthful…it IS a really exciting book! I think I would have thoroughly enjoyed this book in my younger days…ok I actually was enjoying it pretty much in my not so younger days as well. The important take away lesson for me was the importance of stopping to discuss the book and in so doing allowing a child’s imagination and appreciation of reading to flourish.
