My town is ruled with the iron rod of Reading Counts and every year it's a struggle to get kids and parents to relax over the summer and pick out books they love, not books based on lexile.

Pick whatever scary book they want.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.com
