Rhon-a-logue: Leave no book unfinished.

A faithful list of all the books I read (starting in January, 2005). Starting October 2007, also includes reviews and opinions from the sister who started it all with her attempt at Christmas 2004 to recall all the books she had read that year. Now you can find out exactly what we think about everything we read.

Location: Newmarket, Ontario, Canada

I started keeping a list of all the books I read in January 2005, after my younger sister shared with me at Christmas that she had tried to enumerate all the books she'd read in 2004, and came up with over 30 since September. I was intrigued, and my book list and mini-reviews were born. Now, I've decided to share my list and opinions with the world!

How to Make Your Child a Reader for Life

How to Make Your Child a Reader for Life - Paul Kropp

This was an excellent book. I saw it in the stacks at the library, so I signed it out. I would recommend it to any parent, and I want to buy a copy for us. Huge gift hint there, family! It has suggestions for avid readers, reluctant readers, sorted by age, sex, and interests. It also addresses "aliteracy" when kids who love to read stop reading (usually in the 4th and 9th grades). This guy has done a ton of research, and his tone is excellent. Robert Munsch's intro summed it up: he didn't want to read it, because he thought it would be boring. Once he picked it up, he couldn't put it down. Highly, highly recommend this one.

April 2007.
