Wow that Geppetto is some AWESOME professional-looking artwork!
I think one of the biggest take-aways from Ben’s astounding Invisibles/NT work is the need to finish the story in +-30 min. He gave us all permission to flout the regular TPRS advice to milk, milk, milk the details with no worry about the storyline, plot, arc, etc…
But the kids DO want to see the outcome, and their sustained engagement depends on it. They are very aware of problem, pacing, attempted solutions – the art of story making – and we shouldn’t squash or divert their attention in a lame attempt to get more reps. (I do feel strongly abt this issue based on feedback from my Ss).
Even 4th graders, I have observed, have excellent ideas about what to take out /add in to say, leveled novels, to make them more compelling…
Follow their lead and co-construct the story! Sometimes maybe we wanted to extend the story to get more mileage out of it, but the literacy extensions allow us to do that. Longer processing – shorter stories…

Yes. That is what I have thought. And what is really important is that those extensions, and it just doesn’t have to be dictee and WCTG like I put on the star sequence but anything – as long as it is done after the reading – creates a real nice sequence that is BETTER than milking only w speech input (long stories) bc it involves reading and writing afterwards, so different modalities are engaged (not so boring) for the kids.
