We had to make do with the Famous Five. <br /><br />No, honestly, I donĀ“t think it is necessary to re-read books to give children a large vocabulary. One must assume that if you read ten different Enid Blyton books, a very large part of the vocabulary will be the same. An adventure is an adventure no matter which book you read about it. But of course children should be allowed to listen to their favourite stories again and again.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-88865762842985037562011-03-12T19:15:17.757+00:002011-03-12T19:15:17.757+00:00I used to re read stories many times.But after so ...I used to re read stories many times.But after so many years I can reproduce these stories verbatim now.I am sure it helps to improve retaining information.dr.antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191095888228061156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-25660149366075056782011-03-12T17:51:06.814+00:002011-03-12T17:51:06.814+00:00My kids would have favorites that they'd want ...My kids would have favorites that they'd want me to read over and over. <br /><br />I did a "favorite five" entry with my favorite children's books.

I don't know whether re-reading helps the vocabulary but I did re-read all of Enid Blyton's books a lot of times.Mishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987790171985663765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-84800142599833945812011-03-12T15:09:12.816+00:002011-03-12T15:09:12.816+00:00Without a doubt the one book I re-read lods when I...Without a doubt the one book I re-read lods when I was a kid was Brer Rabbit. My poor dad had to first read it to my brother and then a couple of years later to me, then when I could read I'd read it for myself. Dad always got tongue-tied because it's all Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear etc. I loved it!<br /><br />I always wanted a Hungry Caterpillar book when I was a kid, never did get one though. I'm tempted to buy one for my niece!Nikki - Notes of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116292112164268244noreply@blogger.com
