It helps that I was reading a lot of YA. Those are typically quicker reads. :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-51893813582346402712014-12-01T19:22:52.316-08:002014-12-01T19:22:52.316-08:00When I first read the quote, I thought 17% was bec...When I first read the quote, I thought 17% was because they were embarrassed about their reading skills. I have some of those in 2nd grade, and it is very sad to me. <br />I didn't get as many books read over Thanksgiving as you, but one weekend with my daughter, I got 2 or 3 done while she slept in. I love getting caught up in a good book!<br />SaraSara at schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826113370064170051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-62286349924709018882014-12-01T16:00:27.631-08:002014-12-01T16:00:27.631-08:00Lori, it's very sad and I so would like to do ...Lori, it's very sad and I so would like to do something about it.

Most people don't mind the fact that I read so much, and I'm not sure why my reading is a big deal to the one who thinks I'm crazy. :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-33251559176394679022014-11-30T14:18:32.480-08:002014-11-30T14:18:32.480-08:00Miss Trayers, I know what you mean about talking w...Miss Trayers, I know what you mean about talking with others about books.

I want to make sure I'm influencing well and convince my kiddos that reading is cool. ;-)<br /><br />Crystal<br /><a title="Teaching Little Miracles" href="http://teachinglittlemiracles.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Teaching Little Miracles</a> Teaching Little Miracleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694650140067870645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-49590608398520214632014-11-30T09:49:18.492-08:002014-11-30T09:49:18.492-08:00It's hard to believe people would be embarrass...It's hard to believe people would be embarrassed or ridiculed. I naively thought everyone read as much as I do, but then discovered it's a big deal with a few of my friends if they read two books all year!

I think books can be a great conversation piece (among other things). I see kiddos at dismissal all the time and ask them what they are reading. I wish I knew more adults who read because I would love to talk about what I've been reading with people! (by the way 6 books! That is something to be proud of!)<br /><br /><a href="http://notjustchildsplay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Not Just Child's Play</a> Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.com
