Pass It On! Reading, it's catchy...

I remember when I was growing up that there weren't as many TV shows on for me to watch and I certainly didn't have access to technology like you guys do, meaning I didn't have a cell phone or an iPod or even video games to keep me busy!
I did, however, have books.  I read "The Babysitter's Club", "Nancy Drew" and "Sweet Valley Twins" among other things all the time.  My best friend across the street used to read a book in these series and then would "pass it on" to me.  I would then read it and pass it onto someone else who might enjoy it.  My friend would tell me why she liked the book and I would then read it and tell her why or why not I agreed with her (agreed was a vocabulary word this week-you know what it means!).
That being said, click on the "widget" (hey, I love that word!) below and see what the global literacy campaign is urging us to do. I have the "Pass It On" sheets so that when we get back from Spring Break, you can fill them out and pass your own books (even classroom ones) on to friends. 
The big "Summer Reading Challenge" begins April 27th and we'll talk more about that when you get back as well.
Until then-Happy Reading!
