I don't expect my students to like all of the books that I like or dislike all of the books that I dislike. I didn't mean to put a negative spin on it. I will always have books on my shelves I didn't care for that I hope someone else will.Sandra Stileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028361723666419462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503748290690936207.post-38762320332737132332009-11-29T14:37:37.923-05:002009-11-29T14:37:37.923-05:00Hello!

Just because you teach one certain class, shouldn't the CYBIL reviewers be more objective to books for different ages and reading styles and not just one specific class?<br /><br />For example, I think DEAR PEN PAL is a great read. Just because your class consists of struggling readers who wouldn't identify with it, other children would.<br /><br />My daughter's THIRD grade class is reading LIBERTY PORTER FIRST DAUGHTER and she loves it. I believe it is intended for second to fifth grades or thereabouts.<br /><br />Obviously your 6th to 8th graders would think a book written for younger children is immature. Dismissing the book in your review entirely misses the merits of the book and its humor. <br /><br />You should judge books on their intended age level, not specifically what you class of 6th to 8th graders would like.<br /><br />Thank you for your consideration. <br /><br />Casey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
