Many thanks for sharing this really interesting idea. We hope that as kids become better readers by reading more, they will discover that reading is its own reward.

In Our Feeds: Thinking like a kid, a reading population chart and Common Core for librarians

By Michael on April 13th, 2012

Each Friday, we share a handful of links we found interesting, provocative, funny— or just plain cool. We call it In Our Feeds. Enjoy!

From Morgan…Has the number of people reading decreased…or is that just our perception? This chart from The Atlantic sheds some light!

BOTH Nadia AND Alex sent this adorable and heartwarming video from GalleyCat about why you should think like a kid when you write! One of them admitted to tearing up while watching it…can you guess which one?

Jessica shares an article from SLJ about how librarians can help teachers implement the new Common Core standards.

Jessica also sent this to me but as the GM of The Scholastic Store, I am claiming…What are the most frequently shoplifted books? (Luckily, I’ve never had to stash books behind the counter.)

We hope you enjoy!

(And if you have a chance to play in a cardboard box arcade, DO IT!)
