Narration Cubes & Pathways


My youngest son has beenenjoying the many adventures of reading. Since he was young he has always been engaged in a good story. About a year ago he began his own adventure by asking to learn to read. A strong phonics background helped tremendously. We have also used another wonderful tool...Pathway Readers. We started with the Primer and have enjoyed progressing through the books. As we are coming to the close of first grade, we have been intigrating the Narration Cubes with the Pathway Reader story. After he has finished reading, he takes a purple cube and rolls it. He uses this tool to narrate the story he finished reading. For him, this doesn't feel like school. It is simply a fun game to complete our reading session.
