[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disturbed by the recent trend of schools not assigning whole books to kids in school anymore. There was a NYTimes on it this morning. Do they still assign books in the private your child attends? Mine is still in preschool (public) and haven’t fully thought out his future education path yet. Having a robust reading curriculum with books would be a big draw for private. [/quote]
You can also read entire books to and with your child, you know. Reading with your child in the early years lays the groundwork for his literacy.[/quote]

Not arguing that it's good for OP (critical even) to read with DC and to DC. However there's something really valuable about reading a whole book with your class and having that touchpoint together of having analyzed the literature and being able to make inside class jokes about pieces of it or things like that. These little details are how cultures are built.

Nobody's going to get that from tiny snippets on a screen they forget in 2 seconds.[/quote]
