I am inventing an invention
Lauren Child
- Reading
- Try reading a section together, then invite the child to take the next part independently. Pause to notice repeated words and talk through any unfamiliar vocabulary.
- Themes
- Inventing together: Charlie and Marv take on a school invention project, and Lola may contribute ideas when they find it difficult. The project offers a way to talk about sharing ideas and approaching a problem together.
- Reading structure: The series uses simple sentences and repeated words; this title is presented as a longer story with a wider vocabulary. The described structure offers recurring words alongside new vocabulary, providing a supported account of how the reader experience is shaped.
- Worth knowing
- The project proves harder than expected, placing trial and difficulty at the centre of the premise.
