My question is about having them narrate from the readings for which they are all present. Should I stop more frequently for the younger ones? Perhaps just a paragraph or two for the 6 year old, and then read further before stopping to ask to hear from the older ones 13 and 16? Should I read an entire chapter before calling on anyone to narrate? I have a difficult time knowing how much to read and how much to expect from my younger ones. Anyone else with a wide age range have ideas for me? I daily read aloud to my children who range in age from 16 to 3.

In our local CM group, some of the moms have expressed frustration that their children don't want to narrate, especially something that the mom has read out loud. Alternate types of narration, like doing a skit or drawing a picture, can help but there is not time for that every time.
