"1. Have you ever secretly read under your desk in school because the teacher was boring and you were dying to finish the book you were reading?
2. Have you been scolded for reading at the dinner table?
3. Have you ever read secretly under the covers after being told to go to bed?
My students and I agree that if a child answers yes to all three questions, he or she is destined to become a reader for life." (Esquith, 33).
Well, Mr. Esquith, this young woman pursuing a goal of reading 50 books this year must agree with you :)
Also, note to self -- e-mail school librarian and ask for recommendations of second/third grade appropriate literature to start checking out!
