Viral Literacy

May 14, 2008




It’s happening.  It’s actually happening!  Beginning in January, I started reading Jeff Brown’s Flat Stanley books to my class.  Serendipitously, the books appeared in the following month’s Scholastic order and several children ordered Flat Stanley books.  Now, I’m pleased to hear that several students are reading these books at home and, more importantly, that several of them are doing most of the reading independently!  What once was beyond their level is now “just right.”  Given a taste for Flat Stanley (and chapter books in general!) they’re developing an addiction.

Watch out.  Literacy is contagious. :)
