Kim Johnson Library Media Specialist Woodstock School K-4 Woodstock, AL johnsonk@bibbed.org Dear Group, I purchased the book Silent Boy by Lois Lowry. Fourth grade teachers are teaching writing and point of view. After reading the book I am not sure if it will be the best choice. I also wanted to vent. The reading coach has just asked me to work with 5 students who need help with recreational reading before state testing. This sounded like a perfect match until she showed me the website where they will read a passage and answer questions. These students will spend 30 minutes a day with me using the computer to practice recreational reading. This practice is to help them develop the strategies needed to read recreational text. This is one reason that I often allow them to read during assigned library time instead of teaching information skills. I want them to have some time during the day to discover the joy of reading. Thanks for listening. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
