Sometimes narration needs help

FREEBIE Narration card printable: When I first asked our oldest son to give a narration on our first ever homeschool read aloud, he just stared at me. He was/is a voracious reader. I thought maybe I just needed to explain what narration was and we’d assuredly be set.

Still, blank stare.

I gave my narration about the reading, assuming it’d inspire him to expand and elaborate on the reading.

Eyes wide open, “mom, it was good.”

My newbie homeschooling mom fears welled up. I was convinced I was doing something wrong. And I was.
