@BlameEricLamont Unfortunately, Only the grown and mature crowd can appreciate Chrisette Michelle. The younger generation might want to listen to one or two of her albums before they comment.
@DrBradJohnson I’ve done this for the past several years and totally agree! Every year I’ve seen reluctant readers turn into avid readers. Test scores among these readers also increase during the school year.
Parents - for the teachers’ sake, please make your child (no matter their age) read a minimum of 30 minutes a day during the summer from a book. An actual book, not a screen. Even better, read along side them. Most libraries have incentive programs too! I dare you to give me one excuse why you cannot do this, except maybe your child is at camp for a week, etc.
