[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 298736, member: 1991"] In which case - surely reading as a team would fit in with that? Find a kids book with dialogue and ask her which she wants to read aloud - the dialogue or the other stuff. You take one, she takes the other, you sit side by side and share the book. She has to follow what you read so she knows when to get ready to read her turn. It's a way of making sure she IS following, and not just letting you read it all and letting it wash over her. This way ensures her involvement but it's a lot more fun than simple having her read aloud (unless she loves to read aloud). Because by sharing the task, you're modelling verbal expression for her and at the same time giving her confidence to try, and to read aloud. She can get caught up in the fun of it and not see it as so frightening. It's like walking across a narrow suspension bridge - while it may be best to try it on your own because then only YOU are responsible for any sway in the bridge, the first couple of crossings go better if it's someone larger and steady who is holding your hand. But you have to walk it and not get carried. As she gets confidence you let her walk in front and hold on to the rail instead of your hand. And os on. Follow your instincts though. You know her and what you feel will work. Marg [/QUOTE]
