What kind of books did your parents have when you were a child?
Q. What kind of books did your parents have in your house as you were growing up? Not books for you, but books for them... See, as i was growing up my parents had books on the theory of alien civilizations & extraterrestrial research, amongst other things such as psychology books & books on unexplained phenomenons. Today I am very interested in these things, especially the alien stuff. As my mum was growing up her mum had a lot of books about the workings of the brain & a lot of encyclopedias & today she is very stuff like that. From this i saw a pattern. How about you? Do your current interests stem from the books you grew up around as a child?

What are some good books to improve a first-grade reading level?
Q. I'm giving a few books to a girl who is in third grade but has a first-grade reading level. Should I give her first grade books, second grade books, or third grade books? What's going to improve her reading level? Does anyone have any suggestions that I could easily find at Barnes and Noble tonight. As for the type of book, anything goes, but I want 1 or 2 books about puppies because that is one thing that I know she likes.

What books do you recommend to learn about world religions?
Q. I am interested in learning more about Paganism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism. Books about other religions are perfect too, but I want to read books that contain legit information. Also, books about the different denominations are good, but really, I'd like to read just any legit book on religion. If you're going to tell me to read the Bible, don't bother, I've already read it!

A. For Hinduism, I would say: "Complete Idiot's Guide to Hinduism" by Linda Johnsen. It is very nicely written.

A. He wrote 38 plays available today, and 2 plays that were "lost" (Love's Labour Won and Cardenio) The ones that are stared are ones I would recomend starting with. When you start out, I would recomend either getting a side-by-side edition (they "translate" the Shakespearean language into modern language next to the original text to help with understanding) or renting/finding copies of recordings of the plays to help with understanding... Shakespeare is hard to read when you first start out, and it may take some time to get used to the language. Seeing it performed is a big help: Comedies The Tempest* The Two Gentlemen of Verona the Merry Wives of Windsor Measue for Measure The Comedy of Errors Much Ado About Nothing* Love's Labour Lost A… [cont.]

What are some picture books that I can read aloud to my sixth grade students during the first week of school?
Q. I am new to teaching 6th grade. I have always taught younger grades. I always use picture books the first week to discuss how afraid some students might be, or how lonely they might feel.

Picture books I have used with my 4th graders include: "The Brand New Kid" by Katie Couric "I Feel Silly Today" by Jaimie Lee Curtis. "The First Day Jitters" "A Bad Case of the Stripes" Do you have any books that would not seem too childish for 6th graders, or am I silly for even thinking that they might like this? Thanks!

A. As a middle school teacher myself, if you read them picture books in the first two weeks of school, your kids are going to think you're a pushover and don't know what you're doing. If you want to use them later in the year to illustrate a particular theme, point, etc. it's fine, but they don't need any books on feelings. I'd do some ice breaker activities and something like 2 truths and a lie--two ridiculous things about yourself that are true and one ridiculous thing that's a lie and they have to guess which is true and which is the lie. They can play, too. My seventh graders LOVED this and it helped them to get to know me last year.

I can get bored of books pretty easily so I need a book with an engaging plot and characters. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Asked by Skye (Words are the voice of the heart) - Mon May 3 10:05:12 2010 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A series should have as many books as are necessary to tell the story, and no more. Novels for adults average around 100,000 words, but fantasy can be a bit longer. Novels for teenagers are shorter - around 60,000 words, I think. Tarzan and the Eternal Champion both have a lot of books in the series, but they don't tell one single continuing story - you can read some of the later books without needing to read all the earlier ones first.
