He's got tons of voices and is a great reader. I prefer to read for my own enjoyment, not gonna lie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rehearse-books-before-you-read-them-to-your-lo#post-1215499 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:42:01 +0000 edelweiss 1215499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i do not do that, but i think that's adorable. although we have a new book that has all these exotic animals in it, and i should figure out what noises they make. like a flamingo. what kind of noise does a flamingo make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rehearse-books-before-you-read-them-to-your-lo#post-1215495 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:40:44 +0000 Espion 1215495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, but I secretly think I'm better than DH. :p (Which probably isn't true, he just picks boring books!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rehearse-books-before-you-read-them-to-your-lo#post-1215460 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:29:33 +0000 Mrs. Train 1215460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I improve as I read them. But I do tend to read them once through silently before reading it, otherwise I screw up the order of the words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rehearse-books-before-you-read-them-to-your-lo#post-1215423 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:19:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1215423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha no, she goes for the same 3 books right now so I have them memorized and I work on voices when reading them...AGAIN. ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rehearse-books-before-you-read-them-to-your-lo#post-1215381 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:06:57 +0000 Mariposa 1215381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>umm no lol I'm a parent I'm not supposed to be perfect everytime ;) LO enjoys books regardless of the voices </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-rehearse-books-before-you-read-them-to-your-lo#post-1215255 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:24:33 +0000 Alivoo01 1215255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but that's a brilliant idea!

She is only 4 months old but she does seem to enjoy it.... </p> <p>Today, we read Where the Wild Things Are and then started on Room on the Broom but she started showing sleepy signs so I put her down for her nap after the first few pages.... and smuggled the book out with me to practice while she is sleeping! I'm such a spanner! But there are lots of characters in the book and I want to practice different voices/accents for them.....! (face. palm). </p> <p>Come on, admit it!! Someone else must rehearse books before reading them.....! </p>
