LO isn't calling us out on that stuff yet, and he's mostly looking at the pictures and not even listening to us anyway so we can skip a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957803 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 10:56:39 +0000 cascademom 1957803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, but my husband does. He paraphrases books. I figure the longer the books, more words, more tired LO gets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957789 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 10:46:07 +0000 Mommy Finger 1957789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those 10 little monkeys jumping on the bed? Yeah, we start with #5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957425 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 07:40:59 +0000 blackbird 1957425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually the third time E makes DH read a board book, he doesn't skip but makes up his own lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957423 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 07:39:57 +0000 looch 1957423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try, and I even get called out when I skip a SENTANCE, so I stick to the program. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957338 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 00:39:51 +0000 lemondrop 1957338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Biggest melt down ever if I skip a beat with him! Now he is into spelling alllllllll the words in his books. I adore his interest in reading, but it can get exhausting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957316 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 23:43:54 +0000 skibobrown 1957316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish. DD is way too on top of things for that. She has a lot of her books mostly memorized, and she would probably lose it at me if she found out I was skipping pages. It's not worth it.<br /> @MamaChin: Agreed. That book is way too long. I actually learned to read from that book as a kid when my mom refused to read it to me. Now I totally understand why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957305 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 23:05:35 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1957305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: that book takes for.ev.er. I like the first half more but skip nearly all of the thing one and thing two section. </p> <p>Big page skipper over here. Or I only read half the words on the page. Not always but for books that bore me or if we are in a hurry/he is using books to stall. Definitely get busted from time to time but enjoying it while I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957147 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 21:09:40 +0000 MamaChin 1957147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2, he definitely does! He says Mama oops!! My trickiest move is skipping right to Thing 1 and Thing 2 in Cat in the Hat, step in on the mat to big red wood box in a flash! That shit is like 60 pages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957144 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 21:03:16 +0000 winniebee 1957144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yes. He gets to pick 3 books before nap and bed. And when one of those books is Polar Express you just make shit up or skip pages. He notices sometimes but not always ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957096 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 20:23:28 +0000 MrsF 1957096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup! not usually, but she's been requesting some reeeeally long books lately. she hasn't called me on it yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-skip-pages#post-1957077 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 20:08:12 +0000 regberadaisy 1957077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe :wink: we're at the stage where we are reading books with real content. Yah know, couple sentences per page. Sometimes I skip pages. :silly: and sometimes she calls me out on it. LOL </p> <p>Do you ever skip pages? </p>
