When we were doing Beyond, Jayden could not narrate at all. I mean, getting one word out of her was just torture. I was THRILLED if she asked me a question about the reading, or if her narration at least had anything at all to do with the reading.. like if there was a cat mentioned in the story and she said something about cats. This was during the WHOLE GUIDE!

Jabeth's family had success in killing the wooly mammoth, and they had a feast. On the third day of the feast, Gath and Soren were figuring out where to paint a picture of a wooly mammoth, and Jabeth and Baylock heard them talking. Jabeth spoke up and said, "I know the perfect place to paint the wooly mammoth!" and he took Soren and Gath to their secret part of the cave. Soren said, "This is a great place! The air is dry and the drawing won't get smudged from the smoke from the fire." Then Soren started painting the wooly mammoth.
So yeah, it's probably not exactly right... but I'm still impressed at the change. In Beyond with the same reading she would have said "I don't know" and if she would have added "something about painting?" I would have been thrilled! In Bigger, it would have been more like "There was something about painting and elephants" I'm really proud of where she's come to and I look forward to seeing how much she grows during Preparing.
