March 2011 Reader of the Month

Our Reader of the Month for March is Nia!  Nia is a 3rd grader who loves to read. I'm thrilled to share her interview so you can learn more about her as a reader!

Mrs. Read-A-Lot: What is your favorite book?  Who would you recommend it to?

Nia: My favorite book is Harry Potter.  I like all of them.  I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy.

Mrs. Read-A-Lot: Where do you like to read?  Can you describe your favorite reading spot?

Nia: I like to read at the library because it is quiet.  I sit on a little couch that looks like a candy cane in the kids' section.  The couch is soft.

Mrs. Read-A-Lot: When do you like to read?

Nia: I like to read outside in the summer sun.

Mrs. Read-A-Lot: What are the last three books you have read?

Nia: 1. Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie

2. Chicken Dance

3. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Mrs. Read-A-Lot: Do you prefer paperback or hardcover books?

Nia: I prefer paperback books because of you bend it you can unbend it.

Mrs. Read-A-Lot: How do you choose a book?

Nia: I look at the back cover and look at the jacket flap.

Mrs. Read-A-Lot: Reading is...

Nia: ...delightful because sometimes you learn more about the author at the end of the book.

Thanks to Nia for being Reader of the Month and sharing the pictures of all the interesting places where she reads!  I'm a huge Harry Potter fan myself.  I love Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.  I can't believe the last movie is going to be released this year and then it'll be the end of Harry Potter!  I have the The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory--More Than 150 Magical Recipes for Muggles and Wizards on my Nook...maybe I'll have to make a recipe and reread Azkaban!

If you can come to school and tell me one of the four books that Nia has read recently, you will earn one sticker towards a reading reward.
