Writing @ Reading - Share A Story 2013 Day 3

Our theme today, about preparing children for preschool and beyond, could easily be called

I am three, watch me read!

I don't know about you, but in our house, the threes were much more terrible than the twos! More vocabulary = more ideas, more ways to express herself, etc.

It wasn't that our then 3-year-old could actually read, but she thought she could ! She morphed into the Bedtime Stories Casting Director. When she wasn't reciting her books herself, she was correcting us when we skipped missed a [word, sentence, page] or didn't use the right character voice.

Today's Writing @ Reading Prompts reflect the joys of the dramatic life ...

• Is there a book your child loves (or loved) to read to you? What is it, and what do you love about their reading style?
• Tell us about a time when a book first came to life for you.
• Let's turn one of your toddler /3-year-old's/preschooler's books into a mini-movie. What is the book, what stars would you cast in the various roles, and why?
• Have you ever had a situation / event in your adult life that reminded you of a book, story, or character from a children's book? [Either one you read as a child, or one you've shared with your kids]

Can't decide on just one topic? Yeah! We hoped that would happen. Remember, you are welcome to write a post for any or all of them! Each post = 1 entry for our fabulous book prize packages.
