I don't pick specific books for this, just whatever books I am reading within my thematic unit. I also read some of the books from their book baskets to show them that those can be retold, too. My children have two talk partners- front to back and side to side. Sometimes they will pair with the same partner two days in a row. The first day, the one whose name comes first in the alphabet will retell a book I have just read, then the next day the other partner will retell that day's book. I have taught them to say, "What else happened?" and "How did the story end?" in case their partner stops too soon. I am doing some components of the Daily Five. When they do "partner reading", the reader retells their story for their partner. I am close by to help the partner 'coach' as needed.
