Re: [LIT] lit Digest, Vol 38, Issue 5

[MaryAnn Richardson]

Nancy Steineke in her book REading & Writing Together has a reading log that 
has to be signed by a parent stating that the student has discussed the book 
with him/her. I love it. They get to read a book of their choice, but have to 
stay with one book. It's a great way to give homework credit. Some parents have 
said it's the only time their sons have talked to them about school.
