2014 is an Olympic year, and while lots of people are talking about who will win the gold, we're reading about it! Yesterday we launched our “Gold Medal Book List,” a special winter sports-themed list of books curated by Scholastic Reading Club. This Winter Games reading guide aims to help kids, parents and teachers discover new books and genres as they learn about the Winter Games games and favorite athletes. (Don't forget to check out yesterday's post, where Olympic athletes shared thoughts about the teachers that most influenced them!)
