A really good idea!



This is a great idea if you have a child reading a book for a report, or just reading a book, or even for your own reading.
Keep a sticky note pad and pen or pencil with your book.
After reading each chapter, summarize events and important information from the reading on a note and stick it to the last page of each chapter.
This will help your child (or you) remember what they read and to organize and arrange information, thoughts and ideas easily, quickly and effectively.
Thanks to Johnny, one of my 4th grade Latin students, for this tip. His mom has him do this when he is reading a book for a book report, and he said it really helps.
