Fresh Ink

This will be a long on-going effort.

I want every child to have the opportunity to love reading- instead of hating it because its something your teacher assigns you to do in school. I've seen too many kids grow up with the mentality that reading is in a way associated with punishment since it is reinforced in school with unpleasant things like homework, tests, and essays. We enjoy things we want to do and have an interest in, and these preferences are founded and bolstered at a very young age.

So, to hopefully make posts easier to apply, I will color code book titles as follows:


Ages 4-5 Kindergarten - First Semester 1st Grade orange

Ages 6-7 Last Semester 1st Grade – 2nd Grade blue

Ages 8-9 3rd Grade – 4th Grade green

Ages 10-11 5th Grade – 6th Grade purple

Pre-teen 7th Grade – 8th Grade red

Teen High School black
