Up a Road Slowly

Yesterday I started reading the book for our May book group. We decided to continue reading Newbery Medal Books. We selected Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt for our current book.

I have only read chapter one, so far. I am already enjoying the style Ms. Hunt using for telling her story. And, I already like Aunt Cordelia. She took the time to sit down and cry with a confused and hurting child.

a new beginning...

I am not a reader. I don't like reading. This knowledge seems to surprise my students.

"A Reading teacher who doesn't like to read?"

Yep, well, a reading specialist. What would all my elementary teachers think? It is an area I might go into more detail on later...
I am struggling with letting do of "I don't like reading". I am trying to do more reading. I even joined a book club. Honestly, I have only ready a couple of the books. (Hurray for Audiobooks). With this group I have read / listened to:

The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck
The Undaunted by Gerald N. Lund
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron (Newbery Award)
A Single Shard by Linda Sue Parks (Newbery Award)This will be the place dedicated to my ramblings about my readings.
