Learning to read and understand what you read means that later you can read contracts, school assignments, loans, letters and applications. <BR/><BR/>There is a fascinating discussion right now on a dog list (!) about kids and reading/spelling/phonics vs sight reading.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429965211044100252.post-15137456351060030862009-03-12T07:39:00.000-07:002009-03-12T07:39:00.000-07:00How great is that!

The second was just okay.<BR/><BR/>I loved Coraline. But haven't seen the movie. Has he read Gaiman's newest - Graveyard book? I have it on reserve at the library.<BR/><BR/>I haven't read Brisingr yet. I was really disappointed in the last one. And his writing style got clunky and preachy. Wasn't sure if I wanted to try it or not...<BR/><BR/>Has he read "The Hunger Games?"Keys to the Magic Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634829064005032831noreply@blogger.com
