何不由你從旁指導，孩子自己領會？

The US Battle of the Books seem to have very detailed list broken down by grades.  Worth looking at as well.

Recently my girl is hooked to Divergent.  She finished two volumes in a couple of days but she could not stop talking about it.  Much more so than Hunger games.  I truly don't understand kids.

今天買了一套divergent的box set.預備後天長途機給兒子看。：）我問了多間書店都out of stock, 一定是很hit了！

shadeslayer  Kindle versions never going out of stock.    發表於 3 小時前


Since we wanted him to learn more vocabs at his fingertips, we have asked our son if he wants a kindle.  To our surprise, he who generally loves all kinds of electronic product refused, saying half of the interest of book reading comes from the flipping of the pages and peeking what's inside!

Funny, your chats remind me of a conversation with a dad here 2 years ago.

The dad was asking for help to find Jacqueline Wilson's The Longest Whale Song, I replied that that book had kindle version and the dad said his daughter would like to read printed books.
And that daddy sounds like the shadeslayer now... or am I imagining things? hee hee!

Ha, good memory.  She was much smaller then. I like kindle much more than before mainly because of storage. My girl still prefers paper version, but she will read kindle with just as much interest.

I eventually found the book, good one. I read myself. Both my girl and I enjoyed it. She went on to read almost all of JW's pre teen books and many of the teen books.

How many names do you have all these years?! or how many quarrels?

but really thanks! I didn't know about Jacqueline Wilson until your post. Now my girl likes Tracy Beaker very much!

Kindles for lending out? This must be a very good school!

I always hope that when more people use kindles in HK, our public libraries will have kindle books for loan.

Daydreaming again...

The fault of our star - John Green

I might have recommended it before but this is such a good book about sick teens.
