Thanks, eliza4one! By pg

Oh, I do have to share this one FANTASTIC moment in the partner reading :D :

I would always ask them to discuss their reading at a good stopping spot. I suggested that the reader could ask the one who was silently

following along a question ~ to confirm that they were comprehending (or, at least, paying attention). Well, they turned it into a game ~ awarding points for correct answers. :cool: Some even changed it up further ~ giving two points if they could answer the question without looking at the book. For those competitive, non-readers(and all too often boys) ~ they just

LOVED seeing who could top the other. I loved it too! :D

In case you decide to try it, the one glitch was that they would spend more time on the questioning and really didn't get in the needed reading. :)
