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.
