[quote=Anonymous]I don’t remember ever having a book assigned to read in 4th or 5th grade when I was in school. I was an avid reader and I remember my teacher reading to us (I recall the boxcar children in 5th grade!). My APS daughter has read about 2 books per year for 4th and 5th grade. She reads a ton outside of that on her own. Teachers only have about an hour a day for reading instruction, there is. It really time for lots of independent reading. And most APS schools are no homework since it isn’t supported by research. Parents on here always complain. If you want your kids to read more books, take them to the library or Barnes and noble and get them some books to read! And of your kid likes graphic novels, let them read graphic novels. Those are books too.[/quote]
