Last Saturday evening in October and the temperature is dropping outside. Temperatures will be rising inside at school on Monday however, with the news of the Red Maple selections for the 2007-2008 school year. The Forest of Reading program is such an amazing way to generate excitement about books. Yes! Good old-fashioned BOOKS ....
Reading is the Key. If they can read ... they can be successful in any subject. The Red Maple Reading Group is a fabulous way to positively raise the profile of reading in middle school. The competition to read at least five books - to be able to vote for the favourite - generates huge buy-in and interest from many in the 11-14 year old range.
Many of the books are well worth a read by adults. YA Fiction is tops!
