Re: DUMBING DOWN OF READING

[Debby Walters <walterd@mail.bwsd.k12.wi.us>]

I think that Sandy's observations about young adult literature are
true.  Another concern of mine is the vocabulary and sentence length of
ya books today . . . many of them seem to be written at a 6th grade
level and seldom challenge our students to move beyond that.
