So Maia has been immersing herself in the Narnia stories. We have finished reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe aloud. We finished reading the first book in the series - The Magician's Nephew. We are in the middle of The Boy and His Horse now. We have also been watching Prince Caspian a lot. She is comparing the characters in the two stories. She is comparing the storylines, the ways the kids entered Narnia, the different relationships between the various main characters, and much more. Many lines of the movies have been memorized. When there is dialog in the movie and not in the book, she points it out. We talked about ruins, preserving objects for a long time, how to handle a wild animal encounter, and much more.
Yesterday, we picked up an I Can Read! #2 book entitled This Is Narnia. It is based on the Prince Caspian movie. Maia sat down and read it cover to cover immediately. Here are the words she asked for help reading: waited, amazing, queens, sparkling, clothes, behind, beautiful, trouble, soldiers, Trumpkin, challenged, bedsteads, greedy, evil, sounded, adventure. Of course, after reading the book several times, she has got those words down now.
