Red Riding Hood: The wolf is bad and unkind.
D: I’m on level 7 books now! Mrs V said I did really well and I used EXPRESSION in my voice, so I moved up!
Me: Fantastic – well done Dylan!
D: Thanks. Callum’s on level 7, so I’m on the same now.
Me: That’s really great. What level are other people on?
D: I can’t tell you that – otherwise I’d still be talking at bed time!
Me: OK – well, I’m really looking forward to hearing the ‘expression’ in your reading at bed time!
Sneezy the Soldier – Nov 2012
D: It’s Sneezy – he’s blowing his nose because he keeps sneezing!
[Following a read of a book called The Human Body]
D: How does your brain make you who you are?
Me: Because your brain tells you what to think and everything you do is because your brain has told you to do it.
D: Is my brain telling me something now?
Me: I don’t know – you tell me.
D: …All I can hear is “whooosh”.
Me: Your brain just told you to say that.
D: Nooo – my brain just told me to say that??! And YOUR brain just told YOU to say that???
Me: That’s right.
D: [Starts poking at his head] Stop it, brain – go away!
Me: It’s a good thing – your brain is the most precious thing you’ll ever have. Your brain will help you to do anything you want to do!
D: Anything? Don’t go away, brain. Stay in there. Even when I’m asleep.
