Last week we launched our 'traditional' 4th Term venture, Leaping into Literature with a bang. Readers commented on the 'low marks' the children assigned to some of the books, and I confess to surprise myself, they were tough critics. Keep in mind though that the children rating the picture books are 10, 8 & 6, so they are going to be a harder sell than younger children, actually several books our 6 year old rates higher than his siblings, thus the star rating is sometimes an average score.
This week there were more Keepers than Duds, whilst many of the books I reserved via the online catalogue, I picked up many gems by a personal visit to the library to browse the shelves myself. It was an interrupted learning week with more dentist appointments and a day out with our local homeschool group, however we still managed to read our way through a good pile.
