Don't think I've ever seen a whole film (or series) of them either. <br />I find that watching a film too close to reading the book can sometimes be disappointing. <br />I can't remember reading aloud in a class in school but can imagine it would be frustrating for better readers and wouldn't instill the appeal of books and reading to many.<br />Teresa xA Time for Stitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081085376540243147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094168566903373667.post-2781530414739456622011-09-18T16:26:31.329+01:002011-09-18T16:26:31.329+01:00Thank-you projectforty for letting me off reading ...Thank-you projectforty for letting me off reading Wuthering Heights, now all I need is to put Jane down and forget her...<br />Fran, it was why I asked you! I love to be read aloud to (and to read aloud) but sadly poor readers can ruin a good book - or put you off something you might have liked for life! I think it was Stig in the Dump that had gripped Youngest, and it may be that the teacher wanted them to predict what happened next or some such, but she didn't explain, just reprimanded. Aside from Art, English is Youngest's favorite subject so at least said teacher didn't put her off.<br />Wylye Girl: I don't think I did like Jane Eyre at school, but I loved the romanticism. There are however a number of books that I have decided I daren't reread in case they are not as moving as I remember!hausfrauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311075972682014843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094168566903373667.post-40582522150644497462011-09-17T22:45:50.946+01:002011-09-17T22:45:50.946+01:00I loved Jane Eyre at school and I can remember wat...I loved Jane Eyre at school and I can remember watching the film in the school hall - can't remember which version it was - and thinking it was just the most romantic thing ever.

I think there's a greater goal here - getting the kids inspired by the story - and it's more important to keep the interest in my view. What I do sometimes, though, is give out 'parts', so if there's dialogue, I can let kids take part that way. Works well, as there isn't so much to read out, and it adds interest. Difficult one, though. I'm just such a show-off, and love to do all the accents/different voices. I probably dominate too much. Your daughter has a point - I always say to kids - you can read ahead, but don't spoil it for the others if you do by telling them who gets shot/drowned/stabbed/rescued etc. Sorry about long comment .... my hobbyhorse ...Fran Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935088780461825341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094168566903373667.post-22069908180764836572011-09-17T14:12:58.450+01:002011-09-17T14:12:58.450+01:00one of my least favourite books of all time is wut...one of my least favourite books of all time is wuthering heights.
