I've loved to read since I was a little kid, and we used to have competitions at my school to see who could read the most books. I finished second one summer when I read 43. It was such fun to read one book right after another. I wish I had time to do that now.teri horsleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959510192119729487.post-21889901994494850912009-09-05T11:32:40.145-07:002009-09-05T11:32:40.145-07:00Hi Teri,
I think having students choose their own...Hi Teri,<br /><br />I think having students choose their own books is wonderful, but it is the responsibility of teachers to know about all of the great literature, besides the classics, that is availbale to them. When I taught middle school, I read everything and then brought copies of the best books into the room (in class library) so they could choose from them. <br />I believe it is a shame to bore children with books. There are too many excellent ones, and I pride myself on having raised many bookworms by exposing them to fantastic children's literature. My point is - let them choose from the extensive choices educators provide for them.Tammi Ector Fissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511201988640427498noreply@blogger.com
