This article captures the most current approach to teaching English Language Arts -snippets, excepts, and quantity over quality. The curriculum my district uses is the perfect example.

Not too long ago I was asked for some recommendations for a person looking to read more fantasy. After I managed my giddiness+feelings of being overwhelmed by the question, I made a list -organized by sub-genres (because, you know nerd reasons). What would you add? (List is in comments)

The importance of kids choosing their own reading books can't be understated. I've always said that if improved test scores are the goal (& it seems to be) then we need to have kids read more.

"And experts say that's the key to find ways to get your kids to fall in love with reading"
This is always my advice, find a book that shows reading can be enjoyable!
Sometimes it takes trying a bunch of books you don't finish and THAT'S OKAY!
