THE LAST WORD: CAN WE MAKE CHILDREN WANT TO READ? Here are two anecdotes that answer yes! My second granddaughter, a keen partici- pant in our local grade 3 chapter-book reading, told me with great relish that when her lunchroom supervisor told her class that she would make them take out their books to read if they did not quiet down, the class broke into spontaneous applause. "Not much of a threat was it Grandma?" she chuckled. Her French Immersion classroom teacher has commented for a second year, "I can't believe it. They come in reading. I have to ask students to put away their books so I can start class." She always finishes with, "What a wonderful dilemma!" z NBS Ad Saunders Ad
