Then add to the Wakelet page some possible story choices that you find interesting and fun
- ForumStory Choices Forum
Please post in this discussion thread only one story that you think might be a good choice for your group's reading & improvisation. Be careful not to choose a book that is based on a level English (i.e. a Level Reader).It should be age appropriate not level appropriate. Remember this is a book the teacher or adult is sharing not a book the child is reading. I might suggest you choose a story you personally would love to hear. (Note: final choice for the group play will be made by the moderator based on your suggestions)
Explain why you think it is a good choice.
