Thank you so much for taking the time to write it all out...you have no idea how much I appreciate your insight and suggestions.<br /><br />FYI, I just ordered from amazon one of the books you recommended to me a few weeks back...for the life of me I forget the title at the moment. It's been shipped and I should have it within about a week!<br /><br />Again, many thanks.

I was thinking that Seth might enjoy Mo ...Hi Ruth,<br /><br />I was thinking that Seth might enjoy Mo Willems' books - if you don't know about them, which you probably do. They are just right for where he is in his reading/literacy learning - especially the Pigeon books and the Elephant and Piggie books. they are so funny. They would appeal to his sense of humour.<br />http://www.pigeonpresents.com/books.aspx<br />You can definitely get them at the library. Just thought I'd mention them if you aren't familiar with him. <br />Another thought I had for your work with him, would be to write some little pattern books with him that he can illustrate or take photos. Maybe about 5 or 6 pages each. With patterned sentences (for example: "This is my house", "This is my bike", "This is my brother", etc.... or "I like blue", "I like dogs", etc... whatever seems to make sense to you or he might have ideas. I would not make him print the text himself at this point unless he shows interest in it. You could type it out together. then I would keep them in a little basket and practice them with him. You could put his photo as the author on the back. Here are some examples of some that a first nations community on Vancouver Island are making for their children. Take a look at the one called "Big and Little". It will give you some ideas.<br />http://www.eaglecrestbooks.com/aboutthebooks2_english.htm<br /> Also there are so many beautiful alphabet books available at the library... he might enjoy looking at them with you (ie. multiple ways that different authors and illustrators have explored different letters). <br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602072450660879128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-51549036134590609032012-11-25T08:02:25.747-06:002012-11-25T08:02:25.747-06:00Ah yes, Andrea, I can do that.
