    Does anybody have some easy instructions for making a narration cube or jar?  My son really could benefit from something like this, as he hates it everytime I say, “Tell me what you remember :)”  He falls over on the couch and basically dreads when I ask him that.  He just turned 7 in June.

    So, I think that a variety of questions and things to do would make it easier on him.

    I took a 2 inch square block from my kids blocks and wrote on each side w/ a fine tip sharpie – setting, characters, plot, etc. We roll the cube and use it periodically. Currently our little “relocator” has misplaced it. Can’t fault him too much since he’s but 1.5 years old :).

    Call me uninformed but I had no idea this existed.  I am trying this too.

    I made these bookmarks a while ago.  You could use some of the ideas for a narration jar or just leave them on the bookmark and ask different ones each time.

    I love these idea’s!  I just finished my box (or my son finished taping it Wink) and I am going to use it a LOT!  Also, for my older ones on their personal books this will be fun.  Cause sometimes they wanted to retell me everything they just read and I don’t have time.  When I do I can just ask but when I don’t this will be perfect!  Thanks.  Now off to see these bookmarks everyone is talking about..
