I agree that summarization seems more suitable for older kids, in the "logic" stage. I hated trying to get my daughter to summarize when she just wanted to tell me "the whole story". :)Mahers Hill Academyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928138869772131744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719499255804821889.post-38652372149424537822011-02-08T08:02:12.699-06:002011-02-08T08:02:12.699-06:00I agree the CM method of narrating agrees better w...I agree the CM method of narrating agrees better with a younger child.

I struggle with the WTM narration style, so reading your summary thoughts after the selected quotes helped a lot! I would have to agree that the summarizing is a challenge - especially for one of my boys. He gives all sorts of rambling details and gets lost in the nitty gritty. Hopefully I can employ a more relaxed standard and we can build a more cohesive narration from there ...carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460660865881905507noreply@blogger.com
