Looking for a fun way to improve your child's reading comprehension and critical thinking skills? Try the enhanced Story Builder game!
How to Play:
1. Choose a Book: Pick a story your child is currently reading or one you both enjoy.
2. Set a Timer: Decide on a time limit (5-10 minutes) for each round.
3. Create a Story Framework: Before starting the sentence-building, establish a specific theme or prompt related to the book. For example, you might focus on a character's journey, a lesson learned, or a "what if" scenario (e.g., “What if the main character made a different choice?”).
4. Sentence Building: Take turns adding one sentence at a time, ensuring each addition relates to the chosen theme or prompt. This will help guide the story direction and maintain coherence. For instance, if the theme is about bravery, sentences could explore how characters face their fears or what bravery looks like in different situations.
5.Discuss Connections: After completing the story, discuss how it relates to the original book. Ask questions about characters, themes, and what your child learned from the experience.
6. Reflect: End with what your child enjoyed and how they might incorporate new ideas into their own writing.
