I understand some children do not share how their day went, that is my daughter! So, I can relate and understand how you feel. However, please do NOT give-up, just keep asking your child everyday and little by little, he/she will open up. In our class we have stations, play games, do journal writing, story problems, leader of the day (does the calendar and reading sight words), and much more. So if your child is not good at sharing their day, ask them specific questions like: 1. Did you have stations today?Reading Tips
3. How does (name of character) feel?
4. Why is s/he happy, sad, excited, nervous, or worried?
5. If someone in the story made a decision, ask your child was that a good choice?Parent/Child Communication Tips
