I know students sometimes giggle at my excitement for reading but as a teacher I truly believe it's important for me to be the biggest cheerleader for reading that I can be. I hope that parents catch some of my enthusiasm and read with their children, talk to their children about what they are reading at home and make lots of trips to the library. Reading is not only extremely good for you but also fun. If you don't believe me, believe Yoda. Wise he is! Read you should!
Are you a Star Wars fan? I love Star Wars and we have been watching a lot of it now that my son has been watching the movie. We also check out the Star Wars early readers and I have learned so much more about what the story is all about after reading the books. Did you know they have Star Wars encyclopedias? All the characters you see actually have names. It made me realize how much goes into writing - whether it's writing for a movie or a book - because the author has to imagine a world and know everything about it in order to write about it. I never realized how amazing Star Wars really is! If you like the movies, I definitely recommend checking out some of the books to learn more!
