what happened in the beginning, in the middle, in the end? what was his favorite part? toss the ball back and forth—the quicker, the better, since that makes answering in time more fun and silly. if your child can’t recall an event from the story give him some clues.
play continues until all the questions have been answered. if you’d like to extend the activity, ask your child to write down what he’s said aloud on paper, then illustrate it. this is another great way to help him recall the events of a story and understand what he’s read.
