[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I think you have a lot of teachers disagreeing with you. They've mentioned comic books, star wars, etc. to get kids hooked on reading. My original point was that 3-4 days a week just having independent reading is a much different reading program than the program kids are getting in private schools where they are required to read higher content and higher thinking books with limited choices and also required to respond after reading verbally or in writing.

I dunno.  My kids just in a plain ol' public school in a poor part of the county but in 4th and 5th grade grade their class read Tuck Everlasting, the Secret Garden, Bud not Buddy, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, Maniac McGee, Because of Winn Dixie, and Where the Red Fern Grows.  They had to do a lot of responding to the text....What are kids in private schools reading?[/quote]

Gifted or regular ed? What school district?[/quote]

Actually it doesn't matter. The issue in public school is that there are no standards for what children read so next year another teacher and principal could come in with an entirely different program at your school. It doesn't sound like your school uses computers for children to read books on or the Daily Five which is a program that either is too juvenile for most kids or teachers are implementing incorrectly.[/quote]
