Oh these are fantastic @schoonercreek!
I think that television is a real cause for concern, I mostly remember reading books as a child and I don't think a lot of kids would bother to pick up the books I was hauling around at the age they've got their own iPads!
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the children's book StellaLuna, lovely art, beautiful story and very friendly for all <3
I almost forgot about StellaLuna!!!! ♥
One of my faves!
Oh yeah! StellaLuna!!! Thatis a good one.... Yikes! Yes the tablets being given to young children is quite alarming to me....
At my charter elementary school we had an entire letter grade devoted to library reading. We were to read twelve 200+ page books a term for an A, nine for a C. It felt like a lot of reading when it was required, but boy am I glad I did it! Now I feel like I can speed read and comprehend new vocab from context much easier 👍
Would love to see that kind of importance put on books in every school experience
Wow! That's awesome!
