Favorite reading quote:
“The connection between reading speed and comprehension; a film is made up of still images flashed in rapid succession to simulate movement. Slow down the film, and the movement and meaning slows and the film's impact is diminished. Viewers won't learn as much about the film as if it were shown at normal speed. With reading the same thing can happen. When a person reads word by word, like frame by frame, they are not reading on the level of ideas. You need to read on some level that's more conversational and allows things to coalesce into ideas themselves.”
- Doug Evans, Institute of Reading Development
The reason I want to be a blog contributer is because I love reading, and rating books is a dream!!!

New Blog
I'm so excited to share with all of you this new blog created by some fabulous 4th grade students at BES! Please spread the word, follow, and comment on the blog to support your fellow classmates, students, friends and/or children!
Stay tuned for some very exciting posts all about the LUV of reading that these students have, and also watch for guest posts by Spilling Ink Writing Club-sters!
I truly believe that reading is contagious - it can take you places far and wide that you've only imagined going, and these passionate readers will make you want to step in a little closer and fall directly into a good book.
Happy Reading!
Mrs. Neal
