Book Whisperer Blog

Some of you may already read blogs. I try and am always behind but that doesn't stop me from adding more to read :-) I've sent out previous posts about this 6th grade teacher in Texas who converts the most reluctant (she says "dormant") readers into avid book junkies. She has her own blog now, if you're interested. Book Whisperer Blog. I love reading for myself and believe in the power of reading to help in so many ways--academically and personally. There was a really interesting article by Caleb Crain in the New Yorker recently about the rise and fall?? of reading. Reading has changed the brain over the centuries and more changes are on the way if we move away from reading.
