Attention Parents and Teachers!
Here's an excellent project to encourage your children to participate all year round. Not only will they be reading,
but they'll also be encouraged to write. We don't look at typos...We DO look for schools willing to participate and use our
newest section to the fullest capacity. Link above for the guidelines.
TESTIMONY THAT THIS WORKS FROM ONE OF THE REVIEWERS TEACHERS: "Genevieve
continues to exhibit a positive attitude towards school. Towards the end of the marking period, she displayed great enthusiasm
towards reading and writing. I think the on-line book review really sparked her motivation."
