kids reaction to books/reading

So yesterday I was thinking how aggrivating this blog is because it's so hard to find things to put in here. I was quite impressed with the deinition I found on wikipedia. I thought it was a great definition! So today I was stumped about what to write. I decided to write on the reactions kids have to books. I work at a preschool and think it is funny to watch the way kids react as they are read to. I love it when kids get really excited about the book and sit there and listen. Lots of times they will insert their own observations as you read, "Look at that purple dog! That's silly, dogs aren't purple!" I love this becaue it shows that they are paying attention not only to the words but also to the pictures. Then there are the kids who get excited because other kids are and they dit down really well, for 5 minutes. Then their attention span is up and they are onto better things. The kids that make me laugh are the ones who are completly honest about their lack of interest. "I don't want to read that book, leave me alone." LOL. I was the kid that was always excited to be read to, but I had to be doing something. That something was usullay coloring. I am an active listener to this day. Well this is just something I saw funny when I was reading to my kids earlier.
