- Responses to Reflections on Framing Literacy 1,
Dana -
I found it interesting that you thought reading aloud to your son would make
him "lazy about reading," because I too have felt the same way. I used
to be a nanny and tutor for an eight year old, and after she would do her homework
she would ask me to read her part of the book that she was reading (just for
fun - not homework). I would read to her, but wasn't sure if I was doing her
more harm than good. I appreciated Dr. Abrahamson's class and The Read Aloud
Handbook for breaking this myth.

Karen- Isn't it interesting that after all the workbooks and Teacher's
Editions, all the skill builders, the best way to affect student literacy
is to put the library at the core of the curriculum. After parental involvement
in a child's literacy (Jim Trelease), the student to book ratio is the
best predictor of a student's literacy level. Justin
