[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]How many novels were assigned for 5th grade students to read on their own at home? [/b] Langley had DD read 5 novels, then write essays and do a quiz on them. Which spouse really appreciates since our DD is a reluctant reader, so having it "assigned" has made it much easier to get her to read independently.[/quote] In our experience, none. Reading and writing -- and critical thinking skills -- are undervalued. We came late to the realization but are on several waitlists at privates; next year we may still be APS but will almost certainly switch to private by the following year. [/quote]
