I've heard good things about them from so many people... Our Beanie's nickname is just one of those names that grew on us naturally. She's such a little jumping bean!

We have used a variety of things and liked very little. The kids love Schoolhouse Rock, Madlibs and Scrabble as well. I always thought of those things as supplementary but perhaps with the narration that we already do, that can be enough...

I'm a new visitor to your blog and just wanted to thank you for all the helpful information. Also, I'm curious about how you came up with the nickname "Beany" for one of your children. Are you a Beany Malone fan? Hello! I’m a new visitor to your blog and just wanted to thank you for all the helpful information.

So now I know what to call what I do. Mostly I worry that I'm not doing anything but if that is narration, then we do a bit of that. The oral kind. And I'M glad to see in the comments that even a kid who doesn't write much can be a good writer. It think mine is too but if I try to get her to do more of it, it creates more resistance than good. Reading. Reading aloud. Asking lots of questions. Thanks. AHA. So now I know what to call what I do. Mostly I worry that I’m not doing anything but if that is narration, then we do a bit of that.
