We did a Reading Train and figured out that the kids become better readers if they follow along while their reading partner reads. So, we read with glow-in-the-dark Witch fingers. It was a lot of fun until one child pointed out that 'it was too hard to read when his finger was sweating'. It was fun to try to convince them that the glow-in-the-dark fingers wouldn't put out enough light for them to read by. We decided that it would be cool if someone invented a reading finger that was bright enough so they could read in the dark but didn't make their fingers sweat. The inventors in our class said they were going to get working on it!
What a great way to add a little something extra to their regular reading:)
