[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Books aren't more appropriate or intellectually stimulating just because the author has been dead longer. You're beingna cargo cultist obsessing over name brands instead of content. [/quote] We noticed that it IS important to have students read books from a variety of eras and genres so they build vocab, context, some history, and different literature styles. Our kids middle school age then reading all new justice themed books from first copyright 2019+ and the diction is not expansive, style is quite repetitive (ie no style), and overused dialog which is even more informal, repetitive wording. In other words not challenging whatsoever. But it’s all about the theme. [/quote]
