Lessons don't necessarily need to be explicitly stated for children to learn them. The whole concept of modeling after someone else doesn't happen because they told you to do it. It happens because you admire them for some reason and want to emulate them. I think the same is true of the story about Toni. The lessons are subtle and children don't necessarily need to be told they should help around the house. They just see that Toni, who is written to be a good role model, does it, so maybe they might want to be like Toni.Harzelryan wrote: ↑31 Jul 2018, 14:44 In as much as the author wanted to teach kids how to read there also should be a lesson learnt from the book. This will also add more value to the book.

Questions are usually included for school going children. This book is designed so simple, so it goes well without questions answer session but the author can bring new books with a bit complexity and questions. Indeed it will make the book more interactive.Adediran Israel wrote: ↑31 Jul 2018, 11:53 I welcome this kind of idea. In fact, I have never seen a teens book that will end without any actual questions about the chapter he/she just completed.

Yes, the using questions is not necessary, parents and teachers can make their self for their children and students. But if included it will be good addition and will be convenient for parents to discuss it with children.Jkhorner wrote: ↑17 Jul 2018, 08:08 I don’t think it would hurt to add a question/answer section in the back of the book as an option for parents. That being said, I appreciate the other commenters pointing out that the goal is learning to read, not learning to do chores. So maybe it’s not necessary, but it wouldn’t hurt.

I agree parents usually take a feedback from their child whether he/she liked this book or not. According to a child's response they ask different questions.Shrabastee wrote: ↑23 Jul 2018, 04:29 I think this is an interesting idea. This book not only helps children to learn to read, but Toni's daily activities are something that can help the children to inculcate good habits as well. So a short section at the end to see what they learnt seems appropriate. However, even if that is not available, I think the parents themselves can ask the child what his/her impression was after reading the book.
