for a second-grade reading assignment, in answer to the question, “Do you know anyone in your life who can not walk?”
“My brother Avery is learning to walk. He can not talk much but he can talk in sign language. Sometimes Avery laughs and sometimes he tips over. He likes to ride in a wagon. He is a cuddly one. I call him Little Junior. I love him very much.”
that’s an interesting reading assignment question! Were they reading a particular book to prompt this question?
What a touching answer from Carter…especially the last sentence! What a great brother he is. Too bad the people who think having a child w/Ds will negatively impact their “other” children won’t have a chance to read this!
“He is a cuddly one” I think that is what my daughter likes best about her brother : )
Nice job Carter!
Carter’s working out of the Pathway Reader, “Climbing Higher.” There’s also a terrific book called “Gramma’s Walk” (Greenwillow Books) that is about a boy and his grandmother who uses a wheelchair. The dedication reads, “For everyone who knows that with imagination anything is possible.”
Another exceptional writer in the making and a great older brother.
What a wonderful budding writer he is.
I sure hope you scrapbook. This needs to be scrapped!
What a wonderful answer to an interesting question.
I love that he sometimes tips over and that he is the cuddly one. Just precious!
What a lucky boy Avery is (and so is Bennett!) to have a big brother that can put it all in perspective. I bet they just adore him.
Jennifer…
What a wonderful answer to that question. Carter sounds like a great big brother!
“…Avery laughs and sometimes he tips over.” This is wonderful! Tell Carter to keep up the good work. And I love this blog!!!
What a sweetheart Carter is and a very good writer. I think it is awsome that his class is reading that type of a book. you must be so proud of him.
BTW thanks for the comment you left on my page and Yes you certainly can link me.
What a great big brother he is…you must be so proud.
HUGS!
Thank you for the comments, everyone! Carter has read them and is encouraged and very proud. I really appreciate it too!
Lovely.
