I have three children in elementary school, and it's important to me to cover as many great books with them as possible. I like to read challenging and emotionally dense literature aloud to them so I can help them unpack the themes, define the vocabulary, etc. As is the case with all good books we read, quality children's literature brings up all kinds of valuable conversations--even if we end up hating the book, feeling weird about the characters, etc. Some of my favorite moments with my kids are when the four of us are piled on my bed, reading and talking about what we read. This year, I'm setting the bar at completing 25 award winning novels for young people in 2011. See here for a list of medals awarded to quality literature for young people, and what the qualifications of each award are. I hope you join me!
