reading choices

As adults, just because we CAN read high-quality, award-winning literature, doesn't mean we WANT to or that those things will motivate us to read. Sometimes I don't want to have to "work" at reading and instead I want to read a magazine or a trashy novel. Kids are the same way. It's good for them to have the opportunity to read from a variety of materials. Of course, I always have what I feel are really great literature choices in my room for them to choose from. I talk them up and find ways to include them in class, but I try never to discourage kids who are motivated to read.
So to answer | |
your question, I think having some of those "fun" books is great (BTW, I don't count Junie B. in that category...I love Barbara Park books and think there's a lot to learn from them).
