[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I know, the crap isn’t crap, kids should read whatever they like.

What does your 4th or 5th grader read? Please share any books that have some literary merit. [/quote]

Kids should *NOT* read whatever the like. Do you let them eat whatever they like? After all, a calorie is a calorie! No? They don't let them read junk either.

You are there to guide them. They only have so much time for reading. Make it good quality reading. [/quote]

Geez!
Talk about helicopter.

My kids can read crap really fast, that's why its a library only books for that type. Plenty of time to read more solid works. Who are these kids who take 20 minutes to read a Dogman book?

The connection you are making between food and books is totally messed up.

Maybe. It's your choice for your family. But Lucy Calkins "Let them read anything, just foster a love of reading..." [b]does not work[/b] for most children. [/quote]

What does this mean?[/quote]

It means a significant portion of an entire generation of students cannot read fluently, in part due to the Caulkins approach.[/quote]

The damage from the Caulkins approach is primarily from not teaching phonics, dumbass.  Not from letting kids read Captain Underpants  :roll: [/quote]
