[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, agree with PP, even for picture books. Our DS has been able to read chapter books for 2 years and is now going back and re-reading his old picture books. Each night he does this I hear him giggling at things he didn't notice before or asking questions about stuff he never realized he didn't understand before. It's great.
He actually reread the Polar Express the other day and said he didn't realize how sad it was.[/quote]

We have so many books now, but I'm hanging on to the really good ones for awhile because I notice my DS goes back and re-reads them. It's kind of amazing what he understands initially, and how much more he understands if re-reads them a few years down the line. 
I'm of the camp that believes that if a child reads a book and enjoys it, they are getting enough comprehension. Tangent I know, but something I've been enjoying lately is listening to audiobooks of the paper books that I really enjoyed. After actually reading the book, the audiobook (if it's a decent narrator) really makes the story come alive. Someone mentioned that this strategy might work with children. [/quote]
