[quote=Anonymous]A looonnggg time ago when I was in school we had that program at Lafayette (I think we maybe started it in second or third grade?). It likely has changed some--but at the time, it was essentially classic short stories and novel excerpts that were grade level appropriate that came along with discussion questions. We had parent volunteers come in to lead the book discussion, and sometimes lead activities related to the story. Mostly it was a nice way to get group discussions started on reading and foster greater reading comprehension and understanding of literary techniques (i.e. understanding what a metaphor was) and had some writing goals associated with it. It wasn't a list of books--it was just a program that came with a book that had carefully chosen stories and discussion questions.[/quote]
