Monday I posted tips on teaching your child to read in Teach Your Child to Read. In my blog, I suggested downloading scripts of your child’s favorite movies from www.DailyScript.com.
I just logged on to this site. Out of 100+ scripts, I found the following scripts that might interest your child:
Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Princess Bride, Spider Man, Star Trek, Stuart Little and Toy Story.
You can decide which would be most appropriate for your child. The format is easy to read as the descriptions are brief and the rest is dialogue. If you can’t find a script for a favorite movie, you can often find the novel such as The Karate Kid, one of my son’s favorite movies.
My experience as both a mom and a university English teacher is: discover what your child is passionate about and find books that nurture that interest. When your child has a question, google the question or go online to wikipedia. Thanks to the internet, we all have extraordinary resources at our fingertips. Remember a parent is a child’s first and primary teacher.
