Scholastic blog
I
stumbled upon another find , the blog on
scholastic.com
The think then jot bookmarks is a wonderful idea . I tried
this with Ramam on two stories we have read. Right now of course he needs a lot
of prompting. There are some days I am excited about an idea and wait for Rama to be
back from school . I want to try out the ideas and see how well they work for
him.Yesterday was one such day. Luckily he got a project book as a
return gift in school for a birthday party and we immediately put it to good use.
I tried to do an activity loosely based on this idea, with a
hotel visit of his. Asking him what picture did he have in mind when I said
hotel . He came up with the answer masala dosa. I asked him did he rethink his
order when he saw other customers eating different stuff. He said yes. Then has
he had a wow moment in a hotel? Probably when he had his first sizzler or a
falooda, or an interesting presentation of food. He was listening so intently. It
is at a very basic level, but again this organiser give me a path to lead a
conversation with him, till he actually
begins to actively take part in the conversation.
