Actually, hasn't anyone else noticed the split in the comments??
Elementary (k-8) versus Secondary (8-12). Yes 7-8 *is* caught in the
middle. <g>. Robert also started with an unreal (to me) position...
that you read novels to your library classes from cover to cover and all
library period. That would be quite unrealistic in most cases anywhere.
The focus at the elementary levels will be quite different from the
focus at the secondary levels.
I was thinking of John Politis' situation, where he's going from high
school to elementary. I hope he doesn't get the impression from this
that reading aloud to the students is a forbidden activity at his new
level. It's a *part* of the whole.
