Hi!

>From Margie Waterbrook on the Middletalk listserv.:

>I've just read the first article in NCTE's Journal of Adolescent and
>Adult Literacy and, in it, the author writes of how his 7th grade English
>teacher--the author Will Hobbs--turned him into a reader...basically by
>making most classes time to read self-selected books, have brief class
>booktalks, and individual conferences with the teacher once done with a
>book. The author now has a site of his own that I thought some of you 
>might like to check and post for your students who never know what to 
>read--or who just need more suggestions. It's at www.lazyreaders.com and
>has  categories for adult, young adult, and children's books, none over
>250 pages long. There are some other neat features too. I think this
>would be a great  site to make available to students...or to turn to when
>you're coming up  short on suggestions. See what you think.

Take care,
