Lorrie, Megan, Joyce, Noemi, Carla and Stacy start out this episode discussing their favorite books to read while they were growing up: Joyce: “Mrs Mike” by Benedict Freeman Megan: “The Diary of Anne Frank” Noemi: “Blubber” by Judy Blume Carla: “A Wizard of Earthsea” by Ursula LeGuin, “Stranger in a Strange Land” by Robert Heinlein Stacy: “Charlotte’s Web” by E. B. White Lorrie: “Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret” by Judy Blume, “The Stand” by Stephen King The list leads into the troubles getting kids to read in class, much less getting them to read on their own outside of school. Why does it seem as if most kids these days not hungry to read? The teachers talk about their influences in learning to read, and discuss the challenges for both parents and teachers in getting kids to read more, and possible ways to get them engaged in wanting to read more. They also talk about the current favorite types of books they enjoy reading now. Do you have questions you’d like the teachers to talk about on future shows?
