1)"Shared" one that was somewhat of a "call to action" asking if "my readers" (thinking positive) agree with the link I shared (but how would I have delayed that as when I click to share, it posted right away….
2)Following are two posts ready to go (but I can't figure out how to do that!)
One is sharing research related to reading
“Deep Reading” influences the developing brain
I have long observed that a major benefit of Mother Daughter Book Clubs is the development of sophisticated critical reading skills. As the girls begin to get a “feel” for the questions posed during Book Club, they learn to give thought to plot, character development, setting and writing style as they read the book selections. This “deep reading” cited in the (June, 2013) Time article “Reading Literature Makes Us Smarter and Nicer,” is just the type of reading girls in Mother Daughter book Clubs are engaged in. Yet another reason to either start or sustain a Mother Daughter Book Club!
One is a "featured author" piece
Get to know Blue Balliett
This interview will help you get to know Blue Balliett. Her books are set in real places and represent both books she would have liked to read when she was young and those, as a teacher, she would have liked her students to have. It is no wonder they have received so many awards and have been translated into over 35 languages!
