*** We have been reading a chapter book in the afternoon called "Moongobble and Me: The Dragon Of Doom", by Bruce Coville. We read a chapter each afternoon and spend time beforehand recalling what was happening from the day before. This is a reading comprehension activity. Try asking your child about what is happening in the book. Some prompt questions: Who is telling the story? (the narrator Edward) Who is the magician? (Moongobble) Who lives in Moongobbles hat? (2 mice) What is the name of the toad? (Urk) What does Moongobble turn the rock into? (ripe, stinky cheese!)
