We have a book about a bagel that is super long - I read it to DD in record time and my DH was like "There is no way you read that whole book"</p> <p>Read a few skip a few, repeat :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-skim-books-when-reading-ones-you-hate#post-2241881 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 12:58:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 2241881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Cinderella book that is the LONGEST story ever. I skim a lot of this one...otherwise it takes 30 minutes to read in addition to the others she chooses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-skim-books-when-reading-ones-you-hate#post-2241838 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 12:38:53 +0000 reverie 2241838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO knows the pages and the order and can often "read" it outloud to himself from memory. So whooooops I lose the books I don't like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-skim-books-when-reading-ones-you-hate#post-2241828 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 12:32:49 +0000 mediagirl 2241828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo LOVES Curious George books. She wants us to read the same one over and over and over and over again. I find ways to skip pages when she's not looking (or not paying attention) and summarize the book as I go. I know I won't be able to do this forever so I'm taking advantage while I can. :)</p> <p>Do you skim through books you despise but your lo loves? </p>
