(I have great respect for YA authors...they tackle big subjects with finesse.) <br /><br />Educating the parents of my kindergartners on the many facets of reading is a joy for me. The process is about so much more than phonetic knowledge. :-)<br /><br />Do you mind if I grab your button and add a saying today?<br /><b><a href="http://read-write-sing.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">ReadWriteSing</a></b>Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841483739221560253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-72822534372480110282012-07-07T13:51:35.692-07:002012-07-07T13:51:35.692-07:00Keri, that's so true about the "cheating&...Keri, that's so true about the "cheating" thing, as if something is wrong if the child doesn't have to work too hard.

I think that they feel that if the book is readable their child is somehow "cheating." It's amazing how much kids and adults enjoy reading when they are doing it "right."<br /><br />:)<br /><a href="http://teachplaysmile.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Teach~Play~Smile</a>Keri Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918431091141667625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-8379457517233770322012-07-07T12:59:12.668-07:002012-07-07T12:59:12.668-07:00Kerri, thanks for adding your comments to the conv...Kerri, thanks for adding your comments to the conversation today.

One of my coworkers launched into a whole tirade one day about her kids just memorizing books and not really reading it. It really got me thinking about what reading is. Thanks for sharing. I love love Saturday Sayings.

New problem...how do you move the button around in your post without effecting everything else. I inserted one button and it worked. When I tried to insert your button at the end of my post it put it in the beginning. I tried to move it, but it messed everything up. Can you help me?
