[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an elementary aged reader and maybe it’s snobby, but I’m shocked at the crap that these kids read. They are encouraged BY TEACHERS and LIBRARIANS to read this crap. Dog Man, Magic Treehouse, The Bad Guys, Unicorn Diaries. So many spelling and grammar errors. So much bad writing. I remember reading Wayside School is Falling Down and Judy Blume’s Fudge books. They were a little junky, but also had great qualities that I don’t see in today’s popular titles. What did you read as a younger reader? And what do you think about what your kid is reading? Am I just a snob?[/quote] My 5th grader just read the Wayside series and loves the Ramona books. She also enjoys Nancy Drew, so maybe you should be guiding your kid and helping them pick out books at the library instead of just relying on teachers and librarians to do it for him. That's, you know, part of your job as a parent.[/quote]
