I was talking with a fellow avid reader the other day and our conversation got around to narrators.  具体地说, the implicit trust that exists between the reader and the narrator: we take at face value that the tale being told is “the truth” and that the narrator is our confidante, 我们的导游, 可以说是“我们”.  这是罕见的, in fact, that we as readers don’t align ourselves completely with the point of view, biases, and experiences of our narrator; and on that rare occasion when the narrator betrays our trust, 我们震惊了, outraged, 离开时感觉被背叛了.  My friend affirmed this – she dislikes an阅读更多→

Most middle school students dream of days off of school – not the student’s of Kaboom Middle School. A brand new school 20 miles from Horsemouth, New Hampshire has opened up.  Desperate parents find flyers promising information, 更重要的是, 点心, 在信息会议上. Though the headmaster’s teeth and mixed up speech seem strange, there’s no other choice. By the time the last paper cup was thrown away 55 students were on the list – destined for some educationology (Marcel S. Kaboom，专利申请中). The campus is a converted asylum and uses unconventional methods. Students swallow their books in the form of pills, dodge阅读更多→

If you’re looking for a fun, easy book for a beginning reader, this is it!  鸭子，鸭子，驼鹿! by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen with pictures by Noah Z. Jones would be a great addition to any new or beginning reader’s library. With only two words throughout the book, children have the opportunity to comprehend the story on their own by looking at the pictures. It is also a great story for teaching students about being good friends with anyone. 主要人物, 鸭子和驼鹿, are opposites in every way but they are still best friends 由Dani R发布.阅读更多→

One of the things I love most about reading is the chance to get completely caught up in a world that is alien to me – whether it’s another country, 另一个世界, 或者只是另一种生活.  I really enjoy getting lost in a character’s life, enjoying (and sometimes being pained by) his or her experiences, 实现, and ultimate passage beyond wherever they were on page 1.  When reading Mark Huntley Parsons‘ 路皮疹, 我必须要, 至少暂时是这样, “在口袋里”, 完全被, and totally rocked out as I shared the summer with a gifted, 但有些阅读更多→
