So if the child is unable to narrate back to you the passage, do you just move on to the next one?

Hi, Thank you for reaching out with your question! If you go to the blogpost version of this post, you can read through the tips under "What if it doesn't work?" to get some more ideas about how to respond if your child is not narrating. simplycharlottemason.com/blog/how-much-to-read/ Some of these tips you can implement in the moment, however if it is that the passage was too long we would recommend next time you read less information. For today you could provide the narration as a model and then next time read less and see if that helps your student. This post also has some great tips on what to do if you find your child is struggling with narration. simplycharlottemason.com/blog/setting-success-narration-q-part-5/
