[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read LOTF to DS in 5th as a bedtime story, along with many other classics.

Topic aside, the writing is beautiful.

However, DS is an advanced learner.[/quote]

OMG, LOTF as a bedtime story cracks me up. He must have a thick skin not to have had nightmares. Good for you both![/quote]

its slightly terrifying- i remember reading it summer of 6th r 7th grade and having to put teh book down and sob between chapters. Its is o utterly emotionally draining and taxing. How'd you do that? and I am not a super emotional crier type person at all! I think teh only other book that has moved me ti tears is Mill on the Floss and that is b/c my family experienced the same sort of 'old home sadness' through a specific misfortune and illness.

I tend to really stress the emotional aspect of things to my advanced learners b/c they can sometime seem slightly apathetic and sociopathic b/c they understand the facts without the emotions. Like my kid who said losing their grandmother was normal part of nature like 5 days after my mom died, it put everything in perspective for me but wasn't necessarily sensitive to her sibling's grief.
