OMG--is this for real? Save the picture book. I can't believe the mom from San Antonio. Does she really wonder why her six year old is "reluctant?" This is mind boggling. What is our test culture doing to reading?

Donald Graves Reading

A moving tribute to Donald Graves who died on Tuesday, Sept 28, age 80 from complications from pneumonia. My own teaching is deeply infused with his teaching and ideals. This is a true loss to the literacy community.
