Your girls are probably too old to let you blatantly skip pages, but the least you can do is drastically alter the text. Do it as much as you can before they start reading. Then when they start reading, just make sure that you include the first and last word from each page.Nancy Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013513868376439692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223042156646920077.post-11828676205340428632007-09-26T00:21:00.000-04:002007-09-26T00:21:00.000-04:00C'mon, first grade teachers do it all the time.
